An online workshop to help community groups, charities & social enterprises understand flood resilience and potential support from the Flood Innovation Centre

About this event

The Flood Innovation Centre at the University of Hull invites charities, community groups and social enterprises to this free online workshop. There will be a series of short presentations unpicking flood resilience from the perspectives of different stakeholders (Flood Risk Teams, Flood Groups, Charities & Researchers). We will include case studies of projects that help people vulnerable to flooding in communities, building bridges between Flood Risk Management agencies and communities and improving approaches that integrate conservation and flooding.

What’s covered?

Workshop Programme
After the presentations there will be a short question and answer session. Participants that wish to discuss their own work and ideas in more detail, including areas where they might need support have the option of speaking to the Flood Innovation team in a separate break out room.

Who’s the event for?

We would really like to invite any charities, community groups and social enterprises who are:

  • thinking about conducting work to help communities vulnerable to flooding
  • doing existing work but looking for some support
  • looking at flooding from a conservation, gardening and/or slow the flow perspective.

The event is free to attend and we hope to welcome representatives of a wide range of community and charity organisations.

Who are the hosts?

The workshop is hosted and facilitated by the Flood Innovation Centre at the University of Hull. We are looking to support groups conduct flood related work in their local community and are hoping this event will lead to some partnership working, but there is no commitment. We will also do a short presentation on the type of support we can provide and discuss this in more detail.

There is more detail on who we are and the type of support we can provide in this blog from Sam Ramsden, Charity Support Coordinator.
