The earlier Community-Led Emergency Leadership Training workshops (held 9 & 30 July 2025) cover an 'Emergency Scenario' where we explore what happens in the first hours of any emergency, your plans and the skills that you have. Part two is the 'Community Exercise' where you actually get a chance to practice your planning and actions in a real time scenario. To get the most of this free program, please be sure to check out the previous workshops at the link above.

Meals are included.
