We can exchange your gift vouchers for cash at face value.
This won’t cost you anything and will enable you to buy what you want and where you want.

What to do?

Come to see us at Praxis on Thursdays and bring your supermarket vouchers from Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury with you. We will exchange a maximum of £35 in vouchers per person every month.

Voucher Exchange

To show solidarity with destitute asylum seekers who have to live on supermarket vouchers.
By exchanging their vouchers into cash at face value, so that they can decide what and where they want to shop. is the idea?
 

Who is it for?

Asylum seekers, who are on section 4 receive £35 in supermarket vouchers per week. They rarely have a choice of which vouchers they get. Supermarkets are often miles away from where they live. Without cash they are not able to use the local markets, where food from different cultures is available and often cheaper than elsewhere. As a result of this asylum seekers often sell their vouchers for much less than face value (the going rate is £20 cash) in order to buy bus tickets to attend college or medical appointments.
