Download our new case study that explores how we used our digital voucher platform to bring speed, scale and impact to charity funds disbursement.
Learn how Blackhawk Network equipped a small team at a 225-year-old organisation to handle unprecedented demand for financial support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) is a registered charity dedicated to providing support of all kinds to anyone currently or previously working in the drinks trade, along with their dependents.
Like many non-profit and public sector organisations, LTC found themselves inundated with requests for help during the first wave of the pandemic. In a two-day period in 2020, they received more than six times the number of applications for support than they would normally receive across an entire year.
What we did
Using LTC’s specific objectives as the starting point, Blackhawk Network created a bespoke, secure and cost-effective way to get people the help they needed quickly using our digital reward platform, Select.
Each applicant who met the eligibility criteria was sent a unique digital code. The recipient then used that code to redeem a digital eGift of their choice from the huge range of brands on the Select platform. This included food, clothes and other essentials.
Here’s an example of what LTC had to say about the experience:
“The team at Blackhawk Network are all really friendly, helpful and supportive. They are efficient, thorough and quick to process all of our daily orders. Having them on board has had a massive positive impact on our service and the speed with which we can help people in need” — Hilary Bone, Volunteer Manager
