Give every household in the UK vouchers worth £500 per adult and £250 per child
The Covid-19 pandemic has devastated our communities. Many people have lost work or been furloughed on 80% of minimum wage. Many self-employed people have had no income. Many people have suffered bereavements and faced the associated costs. Many people struggle to afford basic necessities like food.
High-street vouchers would help people to get back on their feet and provide a vital stimulus for local businesses. As the Resolution Foundation says, such vouchers 'would kickstart demand in the right parts of our economy, boost living standards and deliver targeted support to the businesses that need help the most'. We, the undersigned, ask the Government to implement a high-street voucher scheme that gives £500 to every adult and £250 to every child.
