Join us for a live webinar exploring what the recent CIPFA Infoshare+ Financial Resilience Index (FRI) 2025 findings mean for financial planning, risk management, and service protection.

The FRI 2025 offers a comparative snapshot of financial health across councils. Now in its sixth year, the latest data paints a challenging picture:

  • External debt rose 11% to £106.9bn, while usable reserves fell 4%
  • Councils allocate an average of 86% of net revenue to social care alone
  • SEND deficits have hit record highs, now exceeding unallocated reserves
  • London boroughs spend 12% of net revenue on homelessness, compared to 2-3% elsewhere
