How does it work?
Once registered with the scheme, you will receive four £1 Rose Vouchers per week for every eligible child until they start in Reception, and 6 vouchers for 0-1 year olds. You also receive 4 Rose Vouchers for each sibling at primary school, as long as there is a child not yet in Reception class who is eligible.
Vouchers can be collected once every 2 weeks from your preferred centre. You may then use these vouchers at stalls in East Street Market or Peckham who have a ‘Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg’ banner.
To find out whether you can receive vouchers, please phone 020 7740 8070, email: rosevouchers@1stplace.uk.com. For further information about collecting Rose Vouchers, please visit the ‘Collections’ page.
