The government has announced new funding to support people who are in financial crisis.
The Crisis and Resilience Fund is intended to help people cope with a sudden, unexpected expense or loss of income, and help build local financial resilience so future crises are less likely.
We are currently finalising what the scheme will look like, so keep an eye on our website and social media over the coming weeks.
The Crisis and Resilience Fund is funded by the UK Government.
View Crisis and Resilience Fund guidance on the GOV.UK website for more information.
Government support for homes reliant on oil for heating
The UK Government has announced support for households that use oil for heating, in response to the global rise in oil costs. This support will be delivered through the Crisis and Resilience Fund.
The Crisis and Resilience Fund is provided directly to the County Council by the UK Government, and we work closely with the County Council as they allocate funding to districts for local administration.
We will update our pages as soon as we receive further information on how payments for households reliant on oil will be administered.
