The card is updated each week with credit to the value of £35.39 for each person in the household to enable them to buy enough food and other essential items.<\/p>
The table below lists the retailers that accept the Azure card and the total amounts spent at each of them since it was introduced. The table includes Peacocks, which no longer participates in the card scheme.<\/p>
