COM26071 Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) Oil and LPG Support 26-27

The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) has been made available to local authorities in England to support low-income households who encounter a financial shock and to support activity that builds individual and community financial resilience. Worcestershire County Council is the lead and accountable body for the funding allocated to the county which must be spent in line with the guidance. The Government has provided additional funding through the Crisis and Resilience Fund to support low income households who rely on heating oil or LPG and are struggling with rising costs. This support is designed to help people in acute need, particularly where there is a risk of losing access to heating or hot water. This contract will primarily focus on Outcome 1 of CRF in accordance with the guidance: provision of effective crisis support, specifically for households who rely on heating oil or LPG.
