Kingston’s Crisis and Resilience Grant Programme - Phase 2 Funding Announcement

The next application window for Phase 2 of Kingston’s Crisis and Resilience Grants Programme is anticipated to open in February.  As with the previous phase, this grant will be funded through the UK Government’s Crisis and Resilience Fund. Further details regarding specific funding priorities, criteria, and available funding will follow once agreed.

Based on current CRF intelligence and learning from Phase 1, the next round is expected to focus particularly on unmet or emerging gaps, including housing stability, practical household transition and financial resilience. Final priorities will also take account of the additional provision now being mobilised through Phase 1.

Ahead of the application window opening, we strongly encourage Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations to begin early preparation. In particular, groups should focus on gathering robust evidence of local need, demonstrating additionality, and developing meaningful partnership opportunities.

Additional guidance will be shared for existing grant recipients who secured funding during the prior phase of the programme.
