The City of Wolverhampton Council in the West Midlands is asking local groups to help design a new plan for emergency financial support as a national government fund comes to an end. This new project, known as the Crisis Resilience Fund, is meant to help residents who are struggling to pay for basic essentials like food and energy.
Local charities, community groups, and other partners are invited to take part in planning sessions on Tuesday, 10 March 2026. There will be a morning session from 9:30am to 12:30pm and an afternoon session from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
These meetings are being organised by the council alongside Wolverhampton Voluntary & Community Action. The sessions are a chance for people who work with the community to share their ideas and make sure the new fund works well for local people.
This new local system is being created because the national Household Support Fund is finishing. By getting involved now, local organisations can help decide how the new funding will be distributed to those who need it most across the city.
