Not personally aware of where they are, but CAB seems to suggest they exist....

Yeah I know (true for most but there are some independent banks that don’t require referrals too), but just curious about the rigour around the process - if getting a referral is as difficult as getting a GP to give you a sicknote then it’s not overly difficult to circumvent
Has there been any study on how many of the users (possibly applies to food banks as well) are going as it’s ‘free stuff’ rather than due to genuine need ?
