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.

Founder.

Ben Spurway

Director, ResiliGroup CIC

Ben 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 service in the UK COBR Directorate, work with the UK Resilience Academy, 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.

Governance and how we are kept honest.

  • Asset lock. Any surplus is reinvested in the mission.
  • Transparent pricing. The free tier is genuinely free, forever.
  • Annual CIC report. Published publicly on this site when first filed.
  • Named evidence base. Every claim is backed by a cited source.
  • Independent advisory board. Convened to challenge our methodology and outcomes claims.

The 9-domain framework.

Every plan and product in the ResiliGroup portfolio is built around the same nine domains. The framework is aligned to the UK National Occupational Standards for Resilience and Emergencies (2025) and informed by peer-reviewed disaster literacy research.

  1. 01 Plan and household profileWho lives here, what they need, who depends on whom.
  2. 02 CommunicationsHow the household stays in contact when systems fail.
  3. 03 Power and energyResilience to outages, including for medical and assistive devices.
  4. 04 Water and sanitationDrinkable water, waste handling, hygiene under disruption.
  5. 05 Food and cookingStored food appropriate to the household, with a way to prepare it.
  6. 06 Health and medicationPrescriptions, first aid capability, and care continuity.
  7. 07 Shelter and warmthHeat, cold, structural risk, and where to be when home is unsafe.
  8. 08 Money and documentsCash, ID, insurance, and offline copies of what matters.
  9. 09 Neighbours and networkTrusted relationships within five minutes' walk of the front door.
