Abstract
This report presents findings from a Rapid Evidence Assessment undertaken from
February and March 2013. The aim of the research was to arrive at a better
understanding of the ‘food aid’ landscape in the UK and the ‘at risk’ individuals who
access such provision, as well as the means and drivers for seeking access. The
research used a standardized methodology for a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA)
of existing published empirical literature. To supplement the REA, other evidence
was obtained through a ‘call for evidence’, non-governmental sources and a small
amount of rapid primary research. This non-REA evidence was used where it
constituted the best available evidence, with its limitations explicitly acknowledged in
the report. In the short timescale available, it was not feasible to subject all non-REA
evidence to detailed examination of its methodological rigour and quality (such as
that used by NICE in developing public health guidance). However, this evidence
offers an important starting point for future research, given the limited nature of
existing published empirical research on this topic in the UK and the short timescale
for the research underpinning this report.
