About

The VCS Emergencies Partnership is a network which brings together local, regional and national organisations.

These range from nationwide specialist organisations like St John Ambulance and the British Red Cross to local infrastructure and smaller community organisations with varying levels of emergency response and preparedness experience. While we are a small team we are more than the sum of our parts through the vast network the Partnership brings together.

We play a crucial role in major emergencies, from preparedness planning, to coordinating responses, to building capability, to providing learning on what works best. When we face our next emergency and people are in need, whether this is flooding or supporting an influx of refugees, we will be the central cog that brings together the knowledge and capabilities of local and national groups, statutory bodies, and local and national government to deliver the very best emergency response that people deserve.
