Chippenham Borough Lands Charity is providing supermarket vouchers worth £75 to £175 for low-income families this Christmas.

Chippenham Borough Lands Charity is running a Christmas voucher scheme designed to help families on low incomes or means-tested benefits in Chippenham manage the extra costs of the festive season and winter months. Supermarket vouchers are worth between £75 and £175.

Beth Gardner, chief executive of Chippenham Borough Lands Charity, said the scheme recognises that Christmas can be particularly difficult financially for people already managing on low incomes. She noted that additional costs from Christmas, along with winter bills and everyday living expenses, put significant pressure on household budgets.

Applications for the scheme open on 2 November. The charity expects demand to be high and has encouraged eligible people to apply as soon as the scheme opens. Details on eligibility and how to apply are available at cblc.org.uk.

The scheme is fully funded by Chippenham Borough Lands Charity and forms part of its broader support for Chippenham residents facing financial hardship. In 2025, the charity received more than £31,000 worth of applications on the first day alone, ultimately distributing £47,300 in vouchers across the scheme.
