Community Resilience

Traditional models of resiliency mostly focus on disaster-preparedness activities. Whilst disaster preparedness is important for the VCS, community resilience is also about the building blocks that that are needed across the social and economic spectrum to enable communities to thrive.   

Community resilience is about promoting the many systems that contribute to a community’s overall health, these include social connectedness and everyday health and community systems. 

Core elements identified for community resilience were:  

• local knowledge 
• community networks and relationships 
• communication 
• health 
• governance and leadership 
• resources 
• economic investment 
• preparedness 
• and mental outlook 

So how does our local voluntary and community organisations and social activists support the building of Community Resilience?  Social connectedness, the sense of community and belonging as well as supporting mental resilience is important aspects of what we do.  Our AGM will hear from such organisations including:
