Local resilience forums are partnerships of organisations working towards societal resilience which respond to emergencies such as floods and terrorist attacks within the local area and help manage recovery efforts. The VCSE Sector Sub-group of the Salford Local Resilience Forum aims to maximise the VCSE and Faith sector’s contribution to resilience planning, response and recovery through establishing good communication, training, and strengthening relationships across the sector.
Membership is open to all VCSE organisations with an operating capability and remit that covers Salford, who are willing to act as VCSE Responders in an emergency. Acting as a responder organisation[link] might include providing a physical space for volunteers to mobilise from, providing staff or volunteer support, or specialist services such as first aid, food distribution, or mental health support.
