Crisis and Resilience Fund
Crisis payments

As part of the Crisis and Resilience Fund, support will be available to those who have experienced sudden or unexpected financial shock to provide crisis support.
There is no set list of what is classed as a crisis, however examples could include unforeseen events such as a fire, flood, a health emergency, or loss of employment.
This Crisis support will be available to help support with costs such as food, energy, transport or other essential living costs.
This support can be requested through an application, and those who are successful will be given a payment of £50 via a direct payment to their bank account to help alleviate their financial shock.
This webpage will be updated with the application link on 1st April 2026 when the Crisis and Resilience Fund begins.
