Over the past year, the team has obtained two separate impact grants from the SOAS ESRC Impact Acceleration Account. These grants are to disseminate findings and maximise impact in London and Birmingham. First, Iris Lim got an Impact Acceleration Grant in 2025 for a cross-borough knowledge-exchange workshop with Newham and Barnet to tackle the access barriers that arise when food assistance is digitalised. This workshop took place on 31 March 2026 and brought together council leaders, frontline staff, third sector partners and community representatives. Workshop participants described worsening digital exclusion among elderly, disabled and non-English-speaking residents, fragmented and under-resourced referral and digital champion systems, and a growing mismatch between rigid digital processes and vulnerable people’s needs. They concluded with a shared commitment to build workshop points into applications for the Crisis and Resilience Fund. Second, Susanne Jaspars and Yasmin Houamed got an impact grant to promote inclusive food and digital support for the Sudanese community in Birmingham. A workshop will be held in July 2026, with representatives from the Sudanese, the council, and food and digital inclusion organisations. The group will identify practical solutions to improve food and digital access, with a policy brief, information video and poster as other possible outputs.
