The UK currently faces a challenging economic climate - with increased energy prices, growing inflation, interest rate rises and the 'cost of living crisis'. This impacts the third sectors' resilience, at a time when residents experiencing greater hardship are increasingly likely to require the support that the VCFS can offer. This service aims to provide timely support to address short -term challenges and establish long-term resilience and productivity, recognising a healthy VCFS is essential to a thriving Surrey.

By providing immediate direct support to community groups through this service, creating sustainable resources and guidance, up-skilling Councils for Voluntary Service and Surrey County Council, this provision will develop financial sustainable resident-led community organisations now and into the future.
