CLASP is hosting a workshop on behalf of: The Department for Environment food and Rural Affairs (Defra); Cabinet Office Civil Contingencies Secretariat (CCS); Department for Communities and Local Government, Resilience and Emergencies Division (DCLG RED); and Local Resilience Forums.

This workshop will be showcasing some of the initiatives that have developed from the recent Defra Community Resilience, Climate Change grants, a significant number of which were secured by NW partnerships, and could be transferable to other areas. 

In addition one or two of the projects that were recently successful in securing funding to deliver the Defra Flood Resilience Community Pathfinder scheme will be on hand to talk about their work. 

The workshop will also be an opportunity to meet with representatives from DCLG, Defra, Cabinet Office and local LRFs.  And will provide opportunity to start to explore ideas for supporting LRFs at the strategic level to facilitate and promote community resilience.
