Closed petition Fund vouchers for high streets, hospitality & the arts to every adult & child

Closed on 15 March 2021

Funding a £500 voucher to every adult and a £250 voucher to every child could help safeguard millions of jobs and provide our high streets, hospitality sector and the arts with the vital cash injection that is desperately needed to save businesses from collapse and prevent mass unemployment.

Millions are out-of-work or in insecure jobs, struggling to feed and clothe their families and pay for basics. For hard-working, low-income families, a meal out is a luxury many can't afford - even at half-price. Rishi Sunak had a chance to level-up Britain by giving every household a voucher to spend that would bring welcome relief to all. Instead he created a gimmick that favours those with disposable income, and in doing so, left those hardest hit by the crisis out in the cold again.
