Help build a resilient Croydon

Building resilience is a shared responsibility across Croydon, involving residents, community groups, businesses and public services.

Local knowledge and community feedback help inform the work of the Croydon Resilience Forum (CRF).

Start a community emergency group

Work with local people to create a group that helps your neighbourhood prepare for and respond to emergencies.

You can: 

• attend events by Communities Prepared, the national community resilience programme
• use the London community resilience toolkit to help develop your group's preparedness and resilience
• read the NCSR strategy and manual to create a local resilience capability
• read the NCSR community emergency hub: guide for communities

Volunteer

You can support your community by volunteering with organisations such as:

• Croydon Voluntary Action
• British Red Cross
• St John Ambulance
• The Salvation Army

Emergency planning

Croydon Council works with local organisations and community groups to help improve resilience and preparedness across the borough.
