Please find the recording of the online session as well as the slides shared by contributors:

And here are the questions and answers we weren't able to address during the session.

Following a first session that provided context to the new Crisis and Resilience Fund now being distributed across English local authorities, this second session focused on taking cash first but not cash only approach as well as supporting people to build financial resilience through local community networks of support.
