Evaluating a cash grants pilot programme for Trussell Trust and Leeds City Council
“The Trussell Trust is delighted to have worked alongside Leeds City Council and food banks in our network across the city on this vital and timely pilot. It is a brilliant example of how local government and community organisations can work together towards a society where people do not have to turn to emergency food aid as their first port of call.”

With the cost of living crisis biting hard, The Researchery worked with Vantage Point Research to assess whether giving people in crisis a cash grant would support them more effectively than food parcels from a food bank. The pilot was run by Leeds City Council and the Trussell Trust. The evaluation, which featured longitudinal interviews with food bank users, focus groups with food bank staff, a web survey and data analysis, found that the cash grant scheme was highly effective and recommended its roll out on a permanent basis.
