About
An independent community interest company, built for the long run.
ResiliGroup CIC is the legal and mission-holding entity responsible for the long-term stewardship of practical household preparedness capability in the United Kingdom.
The CIC structure.
ResiliGroup CIC was incorporated in February 2026. As a community interest company, our assets and surplus are used for community purposes. We cannot distribute assets to private owners. We cannot convert to a for-profit. The asset lock is permanent.
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.
Founders.
Natalie Gardner
Co-founder & Director, ResiliGroup CIC
Natalie brings together frontline NHS leadership, military reserve service, and grassroots community organising. As a senior manager in NHS critical care, she has led teams through the operational realities of system-level disruption. As a reservist in the Army's London District Resilience Unit, she works on civil contingencies at the capital scale. On her own street, she set up the support network that gets neighbours checking on neighbours when something goes wrong.
That combination, professional, military, and neighbourly, is the lens through which Natalie shapes ResiliGroup's products. Preparedness only works if it lives at the kitchen-table level, not just the strategic one.
Ben Spurway
Director, ResiliGroup CIC
Ben co-founded ResiliGroup CIC after more than a decade working at the intersection of UK national resilience policy and household-level preparedness practice. His background includes UK Central Government experience, contributions to national resilience standards and capability development, and doctoral research into the behavioural drivers of household preparedness.
The premise of ResiliGroup is straightforward. The UK is good at planning at the strategic level and improving at the local-authority level. The household level is where the gap is widest. ResiliGroup exists to close it with tools that are evidence-informed, free at the point of use, and built to be used by ordinary people on ordinary days.
