The next Devon Community Resilience Forum takes place on Thursday 26th September 9.30am – 4pm at Crediton Rugby Club, Exhibition Road, Crediton, EX17 1EP.
Is your community prepared to respond to adverse situations? This could be anything from emergency weather situations to a power cut, major accident or anything that disrupts the community and could put people or property at risk.
Join us for networking, discussions and presentations about how we can build resilience in Devon communities.
The forum is for anyone interested in community resilience, including:
- Town and Parish Councils
- Voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations
- Community groups
Registration and networking starts at 9.30am and the day ends at 4pm.
The event is free and a light lunch is provided.
