This is an innovative new project building on current developments and pilot sessions, working in partnership with The Trussell Trust to develop new community based ‘cash first’ responses to food insecurity. The overall aim is to reduce the need for food support by:

1. increasing access to effective advice through embedding cash first volunteers at community access points

2. enabling foodbank referrers and other front-line staff to adopt a cash first approach (helping people access cash/money advice before referral to foodbanks)

The Coordinator, working closely with the Dundee Community Food Network Project Lead, will be responsible for leading the development of the Cash First Training Programme (including attaining accreditation); recruitment, training and support to Cash First Volunteers; development of a 3 Step Referral Strategy (including e-learning and remote learning options) and delivery of this strategy to a wider cohort of stakeholders.

At the heart of this work is partnership with The Trussell Trust, Dundee Community Food Network, Dundee and Angus Foodbank, Dundee City Council Advice Services, Citizens Advice Bureau Dundee, Brooksbank, NHS Public Health, and other key partners.
