The discretionary Social Fund, which comprises Community Care Grants, Budgeting Loans and Crisis Loans, was set up to help people on a low income meet one-off expenses on necessities and cope with emergencies. The report draws on a 'state of the art' assessment of the Social Fund combining original quantitative and qualitative research and involving users of the Social Fund and other members of the public to come up with ideas about how to improve it. The book is divided into two parts: The first examines the current role of the Social Fund and is based on focus groups with eligible applicants and non-applicants. It outlines how people cope with living on a low income and experience of Social Fund applications. Analysis of national survey data is used to investigate the characteristics associated with the receipt of Social Fund awards and repayment of loans. The second part of the report considers the future direction of the Social Fund. The report draws on existing recommendations for reform and new qualitative research to propose both immediate changes to the current scheme and a more radical redesign. Focus groups and a workshop with recipients and members of the public identified what needs or life-events should be met through Government support. Suggestions for a radical reform of the Fund, including five new awards, are put forward and costed.

In 2008 the Social Fund had been in operation for 20 years. This has provided a timely opportunity to not only critically reflect upon its introduction in 1988 and its operation in the past two decades, but also to place it within its historical context. There is a particular need to engage with the argument that was made in the 1980s that relieving need by way of loan was new in social security policy. In this groundbreaking study, Chris Grover provides the reader with evidence that this is not the case by locating Social Fund loans in a lengthy history of debate about, and practice in, loaning poor relief and social security. Using primary data hitherto unused in social policy research, Grover shows that there is a long history embedded in British systems of poor relief of authorities having the power to loan applicants either cash that had to be repaid or providing food and items, the value of which then had to be repaid. Understanding this history will give a greater depth to our understanding of the state's purposes in relieving the financial needs of the poorest people as well as to our knowledge of contemporary social security policy.

The social fund is possibly the most problematic part of the social security system. It has been described as the soft underbelly of social security - the arena where disputes about values, objectives and practical policy are fought out. Since it began operating, the social fund has been the focus of a considerable evaluative effort by a wide variety of statutory and voluntary bodies.

The Northern Ireland Social Fund scheme complements mainstream Social Security provision in two ways: a regulated scheme made up of Maternity, Funeral, Cold Weather and Winter Fuel Payments; and, a discretionary scheme comprising Community Care Grants and repayable Budgeting and Crisis Loans. The figures in this report are taken from the Social Fund Policy Budget and Management Information Systems, from the Office of the Social Fund Commissioner and from scans of the Social Fund Computer System. Receipts and payments are shown in detail in the Annual Account of the Social Fund. As well as the regulated and discretionary schemes, the report covers operational and financial issues, gives a summary of financial performance and reports on the changes to the discretionary scheme introduced on 5 April 1999.
