SUNDERLAND
GIFT CARD

We launched the Sunderland Gift Card, the first of its kind in the North East, in 2020 as part of our ongoing commitment to boosting the local economy. Since then, over a quarter of a million pounds has been locked into our city.

The only way to shop
in the city of sunderland

The gift card can be bought in values from £5 to £500 and is valid for 12 months.

They can be bought online or in-person at the National Glass Centre, The Bridges Shopping Centre & The Museum & Winter Gardens. There is also a digital option with Apple Wallet and Google Pay functionality. The E-card can be sent to the recipient’s phone instantly as either a text or an email, and then by using the Love Local app, they can add the balance to their digital wallet and make their purchase online or in-store!
