An exciting new partnership between The Children’s Society, Local Government Association, Trussell Trust, the Church of England, Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales and BBC Children in Need will shortly be piloting a new “coordinated crisis support” programme to better coordinate provision of emergency financial assistance within local areas.

We are seeking to work in three local areas across England and Wales, and to work closely in partnership with councils providing local welfare assistance schemes to deliver the programme. With this in mind, we are delighted to invite relevant councils to submit an expression of interest for their areas to be involved in the pilots.

This form provides information about the project, what we are looking for from councils, along with the questions. Please refer to the information in the 'what next' section for details on how to submit the form. The deadline for submitting completed forms is close of play Friday 28th June. The related report 'coordinated crisis support proposal' provides further information about the programme.
