If you’re struggling with the cost of essentials or facing an unexpected financial difficulty, the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) may be able to help.
The CRF offers practical support at times of crisis, such as help with food, energy costs or other essential household needs. It’s also designed to support people longer term, helping build financial confidence and stability through access to advice, guidance and local services.
In Herefordshire, support is available through a range of options, including:
- Crisis payments for urgent or unexpected situations
- Housing support, such as help with rent or deposits
- Support for heating oil and LPG costs
- Access to advice and services to improve financial resilience
The fund works closely with local organisations to make sure support is easy to access and tailored to individual needs.

The Crisis and Resilience Fund is funded by UK Government.
