Hello and welcome! So pleased that you wish to learn more about our programme and hopefully the information here will encourage you to join us.
If you’re here for information about the Snow Warden role then all you need to do is complete the short, online module and then get in touch with Voluntary Action North Somerset (VANS), who are the programme management and will happily get you on board and equipped for the role.
For the wider Community Resilience North Somerset preparedness and response role, training is available online and consists of 4 short, but mandatory modules. If you are considering a leadership role, there is a further short module to complete.
Once complete, again, please do get in touch with VANS to register and to arrange to be given your volunteer ID card and hi-vis.
CRNS also provides training events and workshops to develop skills, inform you of risks and how the wider response community prepares for and responds to these.
Alongside our professional partners we actively promote local and national resilience initiatives, we are advocates for seasonal ‘flu vaccination, winter weather and heatwave preparations and flood mitigation measures.
CRNS actively encourages household resilience and have developed a ‘Home Emergency Checklist’ that we make available for volunteers to promote and distribute.
We believe in the ethos that communities are best placed to care for their community; sometimes they just need a little help.
