Hardship Payments:
Household finances are being put under more pressure than ever, which could leave many people across the country struggling. But the positive news is there are many initiatives that have been announced to support families across the UK, and we can help you provide that essential support with our voucher scheme!
Housing:
Whether you’re looking to support your tenants in decorating their places to make it feel their own or looking to incentivise rent payments. We can support you with retailer specific vouchers, so you can select the retailer(s) vouchers from a choice of over 100 brands and then distribute them as you need. Plus, we make it as easy as possible for you and your recipients.
Survey Incentives:
When looking to run an incentive survey, you might be concerned about bulk buying vouchers that don’t get used so impact your budget, without improving your results. Our vouchers are traceable, any lost or unused vouchers get refunded and reporting is available to help you measure redemption and the success of your campaign.

Sodexo have been excellent throughout, with fantastic client service managers who provide continuous support. From the outset they were transparent in how they charged for the service which allowed for a streamlined procurement process for both parties. From a parent’s perspective, the choice of retailers has been warmly received and this has undoubtedly contributed to the overall success of our programme.
