What the notice says

Newham’s wider CRF Programme will invest £1,500,000 for 27 months in community partners to deliver preventative financial support aimed at reducing repeat financial crisis. The service will provide debt advice, benefits support and income maximisation, helping to prevent homelessness, alleviate financial hardship and reduce demand for more intensive Council services. Support will be delivered through accessible, culturally appropriate community settings and will include financial resilience training for residents, alongside capacity-building for frontline staff and volunteers to identify hardship, offer early intervention and make effective referrals. An open-access referral pathway will be established, enabling both self-referrals and referrals from community organisations and local services.
