Job Centres to give food vouchers
Job centres around Britain are to give food vouchers to people experiencing severe financial hardship.
The vouchers, which can be redeemed at foodbanks run by the Trussell Trust charity, will be handed out by staff at Jobcentre Plus branches. One voucher can be exchanged for three days' worth of food.
The scheme will be piloted in Salisbury and Gloucester from 4 January, before expanding across England, Wales and Scotland in April 2011. It will run in Jobcentre Plus branches that have a foodbank in the surrounding area.
The Trussell Trust already has 78 foodbanks around the country and anticipates that there will be 86 foodbanks by April 2011.
Severe hardship
A person experiencing severe financial hardship, caused by issues such as benefit delays or being ineligible for a crisis loan, will be given a voucher that can be exchanged at a trust foodbank for three days' worth of food.
An individual can be given three vouchers in a row during one particular period of hardship, and can be helped three times in a year, meaning a total of nine vouchers a year can be given out per person.
Shoppers asked to help
The Trussell Trust is a Christian charity and its staff and volunteers arrange collections of food.
They ask supermarket shoppers in each foodbank area to donate an extra item from a predefined shopping list - then distribute the goods by means of vouchers. Donators can be sure that none of their donation goes on administration costs as could be the case with cash, all the food will go to people suffering hardship.
The vouchers are distributed by "statutory professionals" such as doctors, health workers, social workers, the Citizens' Advice Bureau and probation officers among others.
Approximately 41,000 people were fed by 44 foodbanks last year, and the trust estimates that 35-40% of them had problems with benefits.
When the first foodbanks were set up in 2000 in Salisbury, staff at the local Job Centre was one of the main distributors of foodbank vouchers.
When the charity rolled out the scheme around the country in 2004, other Job Centres also began to adopt the process.
A spokeswoman for the DWP said: "We recognise the merit of having additional targeted support in place such as foodbanks which play an important role in local communities.
"Jobcentre Plus is already in discussion with the Trussell Trust and has agreed to work together in the New Year."
