As part of a Scottish Government Pilot – Cash-First: Towards Ending the Need for Food Banks in Scotland – ACVO are co-designing a project alongside partner organisations, with the aim of breaking the cycle of repeated financial crises and with the hopes of reducing reliance on Food Banks across the city.
The Aberdeen Cash First Network has established a Cash First; Flexible Crisis Fund to benefit single males between the age of 18 and 45 years old who are in receipt of universal credit and who are accessing emergency food provision. Cash First provides people directly with money or pathways to money when in a crisis.
Following the launch of the Cash First; Flexible Crisis fund on the 4th of November, come along to “What is Cash First; Flexible Crisis Fund?” webinar to find out more about the Cash First concept and how the individuals you support can be referred to the Cash First; Flexible Crisis Fund.
