Kent Resilience Forum (KRF) and the Kent Association of Local Councils (KALC) are linking up with Communities Prepared to highlight a further series of free training workshops for local community groups looking to develop their community resilience plans.
We are encouraging parish and town councils, and other community groups, to take part in these courses, to help them become better prepared to respond to a range of potential emergency situations in their local area, from flooding and severe weather to a loss of utilities.

Leading a group of volunteers during an emergency can be a challenge, even for the most experienced. This course is designed to give you the confidence to manage and lead your volunteers, maintain interest and engagement, and integrate your group with the rest of the emergency response structure.
To request to take part email communitiesprepared@groundwork.org.uk. Within your email please provide brief details about:
The role you are currently undertaking, or are planning to take on, in coordinating or leading a group. Including how long you have had this role.
The current make-up of your volunteer group if one already exists.
Where your community is and any other information you think would be useful to share.
Further course information and the course handbook are available in the Communities Prepared Learning Space. Please also ensure that you are registered on the Communities Prepared members area ahead of the course.
