Building Cash First Communities in the South West - The first six months

Following on from our Building Cash First Communities in the South West series (https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/communities)focused on understanding, embedding, and reporting on the new Crisis and Resilience Fund in local authorities across the region, IFAN and Trussell are co-running an online follow-up session in the Autumn of 2026.

Join us for a follow-up Building Cash First Communities in the South West session that follows a series of three online sessions (recordings below) focused on the Crisis and Resilience Fund:

Building Cash First Communities in the South West Session 1: Shaping how the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) is delivered locally

Building Cash First Communities in the South West Session 2: Cash first but not cash only and building financial resilience

Building Cash First Communities in the South West Session 3: Using data and evidence to track and maximise the impact of the Crisis and Resilience Fund

We will be hearing from numerous frontline panelists and will facilitate focused discussions on the first six months of the CRF in local authorities across the South West of England. The session will provide an opportunity to share learning and ask questions.

We will also hear about the development of the CRF Alliance and the CRF resources page now available on the Local Government Association (LGA) website.
