A screenshot of a letter sent to all candidates in the upcoming Greater Manchester Mayoral byelection asking them to back a promise made by the outgoing mayor Andy Burnham to launch a Basic Income pilot in the region
A screenshot of a document with the words: "The evidence from our Housing First pilot is that, if you set people up to succeed, the vast majority will and, in turn, that saves money on crisis provision in other public services. For this reason, we believe the logical next step, after the success of our Housing First pilot, is to bring forward a Basic Income pilot, as suggested by Compass. This would fit well with our new Live Well concept and would test whether a different, more preventative way of supporting people would lead to better use of public funds. Initially, it could be focused on reducing child poverty or young people who have experienced being in care. GM would be unable to bring this pilot forward on our own but will make the case for hosting one to the next Government."
