The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) has been made available to local authorities (LAs) in England to support low-income households who encounter a financial shock and to support activity that builds individual and community financial resilience to enable individuals and communities to better deal with crises in the long-term, reducing crisis need. This funding covers the period of 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 inclusive.
City of York Council Crisis and Resilience Community Grant Programme 2026/7 will support ‘Resilience Services’ that contribute towards improving the financial resilience of individuals. Financial resilience refers to the ability of individuals to withstand and recover from financial shocks – such as sudden income loss or unexpected expenses. The purpose of building financial resilience is to enable individuals to better manage future financial shocks and reduce the need for crisis support.
Bids are invited for York Council CRF Community Grant Programme to provide resilience services for York residents from April 2026.
The total funding available for all grants in 2026-27 will be £200,000.
We are looking to grant fund Community and Voluntary Sector (VCS) organisations who can provide services that support the objectives of the CRF.
