In this short profile he talks about the scope of this new role, his priorities and how he sees the role growing this year.  \nYou can read more about Vince in this article  \nCo-designing our Community Finance Resilience Fund  \nWe were recently allocated further funding from the Dormant Assets Scheme which included funds for preserving and increasing the availability of affordable credit. We know that you, and the people that borrow from you, continue to face huge challenges from the cost of living crisis. This is why we’reestablishing our new Community Finance Resilience Fund which is aimed specifically to meet those challenges, support sustainability and deploy our funds effectively.  \nThank you to everyone who took part in our consultation and shared their thoughts with us- It’s important this fund is designed collaboratively with you in mind. Look out for more on this in the next couple of months.  \nAn update from our awareness raising campaign  \nThe community finance sector has been described as one of the UK’s most well kept financial secrets. We want to help change that through our sector wide awareness raising campaign .  \nA big thank you to everyone who’s been involved to date. We’re really pleased with the amount of coverage we’ve seen – with an online reach so far of over 4 million views for coverage on both credit unions and CDFIs.  \nWe recently released our report into illegal moneylending in GB and had some great coverage on the back of this, not only on TV and radio but also in newspapers like The Sun. Looking back between May and July we saw positive search traffic [impacts across](impacts across findyourcreditunion.co.uk and)[ ](impacts across findyourcreditunion.co.uk and)[findyourcreditunion.co.uk](impacts across findyourcreditunion.co.uk and)[ and](impacts across findyourcreditunion.co.uk and) [findingfinance.org.uk](findingfinance.org.uk).  \nIt's great to see more people becoming aware of community finance providers and actively looking to find out more by visiting the websites. The PR and media awareness raising compliments the work already being done within the sector to boost marketing and SEO activities.  \nIt was great to see some of you use the launch of the report to get your own local coverage too.
