Stroud to host radical financial rescue scheme
Stroud in Gloucestershire is to be the trial venue for a radical scheme aimed at halting the alarming increase in people being referred to foodbanks in severe financial difficulty. The scheme could revolutionise how the UK’s leading foodbank charity works and will see foodbanks partner with debt and money-management charities to provide instant financial help to people in foodbanks at the point of crisis. The Trussell Trust scheme has been funded by a six figure donation from Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis
Martin Lewis told ITV News how he hopes the scheme might help those in financial trouble
