Research release
A frozen 45-council snapshot of what local schemes look like in practice.
Research release · Published 12 August 2026 · SupportFund
SupportFund has published a research snapshot analysing the first tranche of verified council Crisis and Resilience Fund scheme records.
The snapshot is frozen at its publication date so that anyone citing it is citing a stable set of records, while the live directory continues to be updated as more councils are verified.
The analysis covers rollout status, the types of support councils offer, application routes and whether a benefits requirement applies.
Methodology: Based on councils' own published scheme pages, checked individually. Councils with no published scheme found are recorded as such rather than assumed to offer nothing.
