How Huggg works

We make it really easy for organisations of all sizes to send vouchers to individuals or at scale. Here's how:

Choose support type

Choose from our retail, fuel and cash vouchers or select from appliances or warm goods collections.

Select value

For vouchers, select the value of the voucher from £1 to £1000. For goods, values include delivery and VAT.

Personalise

Write a custom message then choose your sending method from email, text or printed letter.

Checkout

Check the details, save to draft or proceed. Funds are instantly deducted from your Huggg wallet.

Links are sent instantly and recipients can redeem vouchers right away from the retail choice you gave them.

Only pay for vouchers that are redeemed

Any vouchers that are not claimed are refunded to your wallet as soon as they expire.

No licence fee

We are able to make a small margin from retailers, which means that we don’t have to charge a licence fee, or any charges for any vouchers, except for cash or energy.

Dignity for the recipient

Huggg gives your recipients choice,  an easy user experience, and personal support wherever it’s needed.

Huggg for The Crisis and Resilience Fund

From Spring 2026, the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) will replace the Household Support Fund across the UK. The new approach focuses on building long-term resilience, not just providing short-term fixes. For the first time, councils can plan ahead for future-focused support with lasting impact.

With the CRF, the goal is to move beyond short-term fixes but immediate help still matters. Huggg ensures help reaches people instantly, bridging the gap while they navigate appointments and processes for longer-term support.

Use your Huggg wallet to send:

Vouchers for food, fuel and every retail need
Warmth packs to help through the cold months
Home goods to support stability and comfort
Furniture and white goods delivered and installed

Huggg can be a lifeline for instant support alongside sustainable pathways to raise people out of crisis.
