Strengthening Preparedness Together in Swale – pilot project update

The Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF) is making good progress with its collaborative project partnering with training partner Communities Prepared to support communities in Swale. Stakeholder engagement work continues and first round of topic-based public webinars, Introduction to Resilience, were well received, generating lot of interest from key stakeholders, including Swale BC councillors and key local community support organisations.

Focussed work with Swale parishes is also going well, with Minster-on-Sea’s parish community resilience plan already fully completed and Faversham Town Council among several with plans in progress. Preliminary discussions about parish cluster planning are in progress.

The first in-person community training event in Swale, supported by various partners is scheduled in the New Year. To become involved or find out more email krt@kent.fire-uk.org

A new bespoke webinar series is planned for January to March will be widely promoted in Swale to residents, with daytime and evening options available. Here are the January details which parishes and councillors are encouraged to promote within their communities.
