ResiliKit
For UK households
Free tools, guided learning, and practical scenarios that help households build, practise, and maintain an emergency plan. No fear, no jargon.
ResiliGroup CIC
Practical preparedness, for every UK household.
An independent community interest company building evidence-led tools that help households, small businesses, and young people get ready and stay ready. Free at the point of use. Designed to complement official UK and EU guidance.
- Founded 2026
- Asset-locked CIC
- Operating across the United Kingdom
01 The gap
Most UK households do not have an emergency plan.
The UK Public Perception Survey on Risk and Preparedness (2025) found that the majority of UK households feel only slightly or moderately prepared for disruption. The National Risk Register lists severe weather, pandemic, cyber attack, and infrastructure failure among plausible scenarios. The EU Preparedness Union Strategy (2025) has set 72-hour household self-sufficiency as a continental standard. Finland and Sweden have distributed practical guidance to every household for years.
We exist because the gap between official guidance and household action is wide, and because closing it should not depend on how wealthy, anxious, or tech-confident a household is. Preparedness is a basic capability, not a luxury.
"What if every household in the United Kingdom had an emergency plan?"
02 Portfolio
Three products. One mission. Built on the same evidence base.
ResiliGroup operates three platforms, each addressing a distinct audience with consistent methodology and shared standards.
For sole traders and small employers
When your home is also your workplace, the risks compound.
For the UK's 4.1 million self-employed people and micro-business owners, a power cut, a flood or a stolen tool kit is rarely just a household incident. It is lost income, missed deadlines and broken client trust. ResiliPro is being built for exactly this overlap.
Continuity and income
- Power cuts, broadband or mobile signal halting work mid-job.
- Stock, tools or kit lost to fire, flood or theft.
- No backup workspace if the home is uninhabitable for days.
Data and admin
- Client records, invoices or bookings lost with no off-site backup.
- Card readers, POS or scheduling systems going down at the worst time.
- Cyber incidents and HMRC, VAT or payroll deadlines slipping during disruption.
Insurance and legal
- Home cover that quietly excludes business use, stock or visitors.
- Unclear public and employer liability when clients come to the door.
- GDPR exposure if a stolen laptop or phone holds client data.
People and wider shocks
- Lone working on site visits, evenings and weekends.
- Caring duties collapsing if schools, transport or services close.
- Severe weather, energy spikes and supply chain delays eroding thin margins.
03 Impact
Our impact, in numbers we can show our working on.

04 Evidence
We have done the reading. So you do not have to.
ResiliGroup is evidence-informed, not evidence-prescriptive. We translate peer-reviewed research, grey literature, and government frameworks into plain language. These are the sources we build on.

Disaster literacy as a multidimensional competency.
Brown, L.M., Haun, J.N. and Peterson, L. (2014).
Preparedness is cognitive, physical, financial, social, and psychological. Kit and plan is not enough on its own.
Peer-reviewed
Skills-based disaster literacy: a framework.
Karacaoglu (2025).
Literacy becomes capability only when skills are practised, not when information is read.
Policy
EU Preparedness Union Strategy.
European Commission (2025).
72-hour household self-sufficiency is now a continental standard across the European Union.
Government
National Occupational Standards for Resilience and Emergencies.
UK Cabinet Office (2025).
The UK now has occupational standards that define what competent resilience practice looks like. We align our 9-domain framework to these.
Government
Public Perception Survey on Risk and Preparedness.
UK Cabinet Office (2025).
Most UK households rate themselves only slightly or moderately prepared. The gap is not awareness, it is action.
Grey literature
Building Everyday Preparedness.
NPC and University of Hull (2023).
Preparedness sticks when it is embedded in everyday routines, not campaigns.
Grey literature
Community, Not Catastrophe.
Young Foundation (2025).
Whole-of-society resilience is built through trusted relationships, not one-off drills.
Government
Household Data.
ONS (2024).
29.5 percent of UK households are single-person. 2.9 million are lone-parent. 5.7 million people provide unpaid care. One-size-fits-all preparedness guidance fails most of them.
05 Partnerships
We are building with the resilience ecosystem, not beside it.
ResiliGroup is independent, but we do not believe household preparedness is a solo mission. Our work is designed to complement official UK guidance, to support local resilience forums, and to extend the reach of the voluntary organisations already doing this at the community level.
Is your organisation working on household preparedness, community resilience, or related outcomes? We would like to hear from you.

An independent community interest company, built for the long run.
ResiliGroup CIC was incorporated in February 2026 as the legal and mission-holding entity responsible for the long-term stewardship of practical preparedness capability in the United Kingdom. The CIC structure ensures that our assets and surplus are used for community purposes. We cannot distribute assets to private owners. We cannot convert to a for-profit.
We are independent. We are not a government service. We are designed to complement, not replace, official preparedness guidance from the UK Government and local resilience forums.
