A Big Local basic income: Proposal for a locally led basic income pilot

1 Jun 2023

This report, produced by the Autonomy Institute and supported by Local Trust, outlines a proposal for a basic income micro-pilot. This proposal is the result of two years of community consultation in Central Jarrow and the Grange area of East Finchley.

Read the report

Grange Big Local in East Finchley and Big Local Central Jarrow have led two years of community consultation to design a basic income pilot in their areas.

Community consultation, supported by Basic Income Conversation and Northumbria University, found substantial support for basic income pilots. A combination of door-knocking, workshops, roundtables and surveys found that the majority of respondents felt both that it was a good idea in principle and that it would be good to run pilots in their local areas.

This pilot proposal is about taking action now to get closer to a basic income for all across the UK.
