The Partnership’s purpose is to improve the financial well-being and financial resilience of the residents and communities in Nottingham city.
Core areas of work include: helping increase and maximise income levels; reducing levels of problem debt; tackling high cost credit use and increased access to more affordable responsible credit; making sure everyone can get and use an appropriate bank account; finding ways to support people on low incomes with saving; helping adults to increase their skills, knowledge and confidence in dealing well with money (financial capability); increasing and embedding financial education across city schools and other young people’s settings so that every child has the best possible grounding.
Access to affordable nutritious food, to affordable warmth and to affordable housing, is also crucial.
Our actual work is determined by a wide range of quantitative and qualitative data across the field of work. As a part of this, NFRP also regularly carries out research with the city’s residents.
The core Financial Resilience Partnership is a membership group, made up of the services and organisations in the city, from all sectors, which have a core role in either preventing or tackling financial difficulty here.

NFRP is fundamentally about all partners working collaboratively to address agreed priority needs. The Partnership members are collectively responsible as a group. The Partnership is led and facilitated by a skeleton collective of around 1.5 FTE specialist freelance/ agency, funded individuals.
There are long entrenched, extensive levels of financial difficulty across Nottingham city. Many residents face very low levels of financial resilience and across a number of aspects. Substantial, long-term partnership work is required across all aspects of this agenda.
