Could you help your community in a time of need?

When things don’t go to plan – such as during severe weather, power cuts, or supply disruptions – communities are strongest when people support one another.

That’s why we’re building a team of local volunteers to join our existing Community Resilience Team and support our new Community Emergency Hubs.

The hub is a place where people can come during a disruption to:

• Get reliable local information
• Stay warm, safe, and connected
• Receive practical help and reassurance
• Support one another until normal services resume

Who Can Volunteer?

We’re looking for people with everyday skills and local knowledge, such as:

• Being a friendly face who can listen and reassure
• Helping organise people or resources
• First aid, care, or welfare experience
• Knowledge of the local area and its residents
• Practical skills, admin, or communications
• Helping make refreshments or welcome visitors

What Volunteering Involves

Volunteers may help with:

• Setting up and running the hub
• Sharing information clearly and calmly
• Supporting vulnerable or isolated residents
• Working alongside other local volunteers
