Resilience Service
The Crisis and Resilience Fund will provide new and expanded support services across the county to help people become more financially resilient. If someone receives a Crisis Payment, they will be expected to take part in suitable support services. These services are designed to help people manage their finances and reduce the risk of future financial difficulties.
Support services will also be available to:
- people whose application for a Crisis Payment is unsuccessful
- anyone who needs extra help with budgeting or managing their money, even if they do not need or qualify for a Crisis Payment.
The aim is to help people build financial resilience and prevent future crises.
Lincolnshire County Council is funding several services across all district areas through the Crisis and Resilience Fund. These currently include:
District councils have also received funding to develop local financial resilience services in their areas. Some services will be delivered directly by councils, while others will be provided through partnerships with voluntary, community, faith, social enterprise and charity organisations.
Examples of local support include:
- food banks
- community groceries
- local charities
- community support groups
Information about financial resilience services will be available on the Lincolnshire Financial Inclusion Partnership pages on the Connect to Support Lincolnshire website. Advice, resources and self-help tools to help people manage their money and improve their financial resilience will also be available through the Money Talk Lincs section.
