Notice Description

The UK Government is launching the new Crisis and Resilience Fund on 1 April 2026, running until 31 March 2029, providing multiyear grant funding for local authorities across England.

This strand is outcomes based focusing on Increased Savings Maximise Individuals Income Increase access to quality advice services Reduce need for emergency food parcels Decrease need for crisis payments and housing payments Reduction in debt including priority debt Reduce experiences of material deprivation
