A £30 food supplement voucher will be sent to the following groups to help over the Easter holidays:

• Families who claim income-based Free School Meals (FSM).
• Families who get income-assessed Early Years Support (2–4-Year-Olds).
• Young people leaving their care setting (Care Leavers).

How to get your voucher

Sheffield Council have chosen to continue to use Edenred as the supplier of the vouchers as schools and parent/carers are familiar with the two-step process involved in downloading the vouchers.

Voucher letters should arrive with parents by w/c Monday 27 March. The letter will include the website link for Edenred and clear instructions on how to download the voucher. Please note that the letters come directly from Sheffield Council and are not sent by King Ecgbert School. 

Any child/young person that becomes eligible for a food voucher between 13 March and 2 April 2023 will be sent a voucher letter w/c 3 April.

The Process

As before, parents/carers need to go to the following website to redeem their vouchers -www.selectyourcompliment.co.uk/grocery

You should enter your unique 16-digit e-Code and select your chosen supermarket. Edenred give you a choice of 10 supermarkets: Aldi, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S, McColl’s, Company Shop, Iceland and Farmfoods.

Parents/carers can download their vouchers for more than one supermarket. For example, £15 for Aldi and £15 for Asda.

The downloaded E-Gift Card/Voucher will arrive by email within 24 hours. If you cannot find this, please check your Junk/Spam folder

Please note that codes need to be activated within 3 months of the date of issue (24 March) or they will be cancelled automatically. Once you have claimed your voucher on the Edenred website the voucher will be valid for 12 months.
