VIVID’s charitable arm, VIVID Plus, is celebrating a successful first year of partnership with Housing Perks, a collaboration that has helped thousands of customers ease the pressure of everyday costs through a dedicated discount app. The app provides savings of up to 20% at over 100 major retailers, including supermarkets, high street shops, and online stores – covering essentials like groceries, fuel, clothing, and more.
Since its launch, more than 5,000 customers have signed up, purchasing over 16,000 vouchers and collectively saving £36,000. The app is available to all VIVID customers – whether they rent a home or garage or are shared owners or leaseholders.
Earlier this year, the initiative took a further step forward with the introduction of rent contributions. This new feature allows customers to pay full price for vouchers and have the discount they would have received credited directly to their rent account. It’s a smart, flexible way to manage housing costs – and it’s making a difference, with customers already contributing over £10,000 to their rent.
But it’s not just about the numbers. Customers say the app helps them afford essentials, plan for family events, and save on everyday items or treats. One VIVID customer said: “Housing Perks has helped me save money on my groceries, it’s so easy to use when I get to the checkout.” Alex Nagle, Customer Service Director at VIVID, said: “It’s great to see the positive impact Housing Perks is having.
The savings and benefits have been substantial, and we’re committed to continuing to provide support like this.” Alastair Clegg, Director at Housing Perks, added:
“VIVID’s customers have responded really positively to the new rent contributions. It’s a simple and helpful way to save, with the added benefit of putting those savings directly towards rent. Customers have told us it’s making a real difference, and the exclusive offers available through rent contributions have been well received.” This partnership is part of VIVID’s wider commitment to providing meaningful, practical support to customers. By offering tools that help reduce everyday costs and create more financial flexibility, helping customers stay in control and make choices that suit their needs.
