In Collaboration with Communities

We have been able to deliver pilot Building Resilience Together projects across the UK with thanks to collaborations between organisations, councils and governing bodies and local people.

Get to know our partners below.

British Red Cross

The British Red Cross’s mission is to mobilise the power of humanity so that individuals and communities can prepare for, deal with, and recover from crises. Their vision is a world where everyone gets the help they need in a crisis, and they promise to be the movement that connects human kindness with human crisis.Stay Informed

Aviva

At Aviva, they understand just how traumatic events like fires and floods can be. They want to go beyond simply paying out claims to fix any damage in the aftermath. They also want to help their customers and the communities prepare for and respond quickly to such crises when they happen. As far as possible they want to help limit or prevent damage from happening in the first place. Aviva’s partnership with the British Red Cross and Groundwork allows them to do just that. 

Groundwork South

Groundwork is a federation of charities mobilising practical community action on poverty and the environment across the UK. They help people gain confidence and skills, get into training and work, protect and improve green spaces, lead more active lives and overcome significant challenges such as poverty, isolation, low skills and poor health.

Groundwork South of England is working with communities to change places and lives across Devon & Cornwall, Hampshire & Dorset, Surrey, Sussex & Kent, West of England and Thames Valley. We have been at the forefront of social and environmental regeneration in London for over 30 years, and today we have a simple mission: to create better places, improve people’s prospects, and promote greener living and working. 

Our vision is of a country where all communities are vibrant, healthy and safe. Where people feel empowered to come together and overcome the challenges they face, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances or background. 

However we know that’s not the reality for many. The UK continues to face many serious and complex challenges; an increasing population, rising economic inequality, political uncertainty and climate change. When these challenges are combined with reductions in public funding and cuts to services we know it’s usually those who are most disadvantaged that are affected the most. At Groundwork our projects are designed to support these individuals and communities, to help them transform their lives and the places they live.

The activities of the Building Resilience Together project continue as part of Communities Prepared. Find out more below.
