Tameside are currently trialling a new food security referral tool. The tool has been developed as part
of a pilot project led by Greater Manchester Poverty Action (GMPA) in partnership with Tameside VCSFE
sector & Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council. The pilot project approaches the issue of food insecurity
from an advice and cash first approach; the aim being that wherever someone turns to for help when
experiencing food insecurity, they are referred to income maximisation support. We would encourage
anyone referring service users to food banks to access the referral tool here, or
download the PDF here, and help enable
people to access income maximisation support before referring on to a food bank.
