In 2025, our survey with the Action for Communities in Rural England (ACRE) identified a clear need for parish and town councils to have practical tools and support to help their communities prepare for and respond to flooding. Since then, with funding from the Environment Agency and ACRE, a new year-long project has been gathering real-world case studies and building a stronger evidence base for community-led flood resilience.
So what does effective local action look like? How can your council play a more active role in reducing flood risk? Join this practical and insight-led event to:
- Learn from real examples of parish and town councils tackling flooding in their areas.
- Understand how to engage your community in reducing and managing flood risk.
- Explore the role of community-led planning in responding to wider environmental challenges.
- Find out how to connect with your Local Resilience Forum and strengthen your local response.
Equip your council with the knowledge, partnerships, and confidence to take action before the next flood hits.
