Warrington Borough Council Crisis and Resilience Fund - Preliminary Market Engagement

The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) is being made available to local authorities (LAs) in England to support low-income households who encounter a financial shock and to support activity that builds individual and community financial resilience. This funding covers the period of 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 inclusive. Warrington Borough Council are seeking to understand the existing capacity, innovation, expertise and knowledge of Warrington communities, within the local market to deliver trusted services that will form part of our CRF delivery. By engaging with potential providers initially, we aim to shape a commissioning approach that is collaborative, responsive, inclusive, and founded in real-world local insight. This process will help ensure that the funding and support reaches those who need it most, providing long-term resilience for residents.
