Thirty people could be given £1,600 a month - no strings attached - in England's first trial of the universal basic income (UBI) scheme.
The trial is being backed by the independent research organisation, Autonomy, and supported by the charity Big Local and Northumbria University.
The participants in the trial will be handed £1,600 a month as part of the two-year scheme to find out what impact money has on their lives.
