Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to clarify (i) how High Street Stimulus scheme vouchers can be donated to charity; and (ii) whether they can be donated directly.

Answer:

Individuals can support charities by either using their card to make a purchase in a charity shop or by purchasing goods in local business and then donating them to foodbanks or other charities for distribution, or to be sold in charity shops. All eligible spend using a Spend Local card will contribute to stimulating the local economy and, in turn, the recovery.
