Inclusive Resilience Toolkit Feedback
Emergencies can strike at any time, impacting communities deeply. Often they disproportionately affect people from marginalised groups.
Examples of emergencies include floods, droughts, wildfires, pandemics, riots, terrorist incidents, and more.
Salford CVS and Greater Manchester Resilience are developing a toolkit to help Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise and Faith (VCSEF) sector organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies, with a strong focus on inclusion, accessibility, and community-led resilience.
The toolkit will provide practical guidance and tools to build confidence and capacity to prepare, respond and recover from emergencies together, with a particular focus on ensuring that that work is both inclusive and accessible to all.
This toolkit will be used nationally, and we are inviting VCSEF organisations across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland to join a short webinar to help shape the new Inclusive Resilience VCSEF Sector Toolkit.
We want your input!
If you are part of a VCSEF organisation, you are invited to take part in our toolkit feedback sessions. We are running identical 3 webinars to choose from.
In the session, we’ll briefly introduce the toolkit, explain how it could be used by VCSEF organisations, and invite your feedback and ideas. The aim is to learn whether the content and suggested activities feel realistic, useful, and relevant to your work.
We want to include real examples to help bring the equalities and inclusion aspects of emergency response to life. From supporting communities during emergencies, overcoming language or accessibility barriers to adapting services during crises, if you have a story to share, we’d love to hear it.
Sessions are on Teams for 45 minutes, but if you can’t join for the whole session you’re still very welcome to join for any length of time that you can.
You don’t need to prepare anything in advance, and you’re welcome to simply listen if you prefer.
Tuesday 17th March 6.00pm-6.45pm
