📣 What did we actually do? Our Cash First trial ran for 4 weeks. 30 people received direct cash support — shaped by community voices, not top-down decisions. 1/3 @sabinegoodwin.bsky.social @ifanuk.bsky.social

We’ve been talking about our #CashFirst trial — now we’re digging into the why. Week 3 of 4: 30 people receiving direct cash, co-designed with communities, rooted in trust & dignity. Cash in a crisis isn’t radical — it’s necessary. @ifanuk.bsky.social @sabinegoodwin.bsky.social 1/4

A BIG win from today's spending review... A new Crisis and Resilience Fund will give local authorities guaranteed long-term funding to support people on low incomes in their communities. This will help stop short-term crisis from pushing people to food banks. A game changer 👏

Earlier today, we heard the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP set out details of the government's multi-year spending review. She said it would 'ensure that renewal is felt in people's everyday lives'. 🔽 1/5

Quote card with JRF chief exec Paul Kissack saying "Today's spending review had some welcome first steps on housing, child poverty and crisis support for the poorest people. These need to be backed by decisive action at the budget to improve living standards directly, along with stopping the cuts to disability benefits and delivering a strong child poverty strategy."

At first glance, how far has the government taken action in the Spending Review to reduce hunger & hardship? 1. Great news of a new multi year Crisis and Resilience fund to replace Household Support Fund. Just as @trusselluk.bsky.social has been calling for! ...1/4

The government's plans to cut disability benefits such as PIP will have a “catastrophic impact” on people’s finances and mental health.

We are in Week 2 of 4 of our Cash First trial – 30 participants are receiving direct cash payments. Building on findings from our 2021 pilot, this research helps us understand what method of payment works — and why @ifanuk.bsky.social @sabinegoodwin.bsky.social #CashFirst

"If this government is serious in its commitment to the nation’s children, it can’t keep waiting for the stars to align before taking action. It must urgently invest in children and their families, starting with scrapping the two-child limit.” @cpaguk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

'Food bank volunteers might not be able to go on strike, but they can imagine a better future. And they can continue to urge the government to stick to its manifesto promise to end the ‘moral scar on our society’ that has swept them up in its wake.' @bigissue.com www.bigissue.com/opinion/keir...

Keir Starmer promised to end food bank Britain. What happened?

Food bank volunteers are having to face facts, writes Sabine Goodwin, director of the Independent Food Aid Network.

Here’s a snapshot from our 2021 Cash First pilot. We found cash gave people flexibility, choice and room to experiment, helping ease the psychological impact of poverty. Now, as we move into the Cash First Trial, we’re testing which payment method works best and why.
