Cornwall Community Flood Forum

Cornwall Community Flood Forum A Cornish charity committed to supporting communities, households and businesses before, during and after flooding. Swearing in any form will not be tolerated.

The Cornwall Community Flood Forum is a community-led initiative committed to supporting communities, households and businesses at risk of flooding. We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with a membership that includes local councils, community groups and individuals with an active involvement in flood risk management. We are here to promote partnership working within flood risk management

and support communities before, during and after flooding. The Cornwall Community Flood Forum was established as a Members Association following widespread flooding throughout mid Cornwall on the 17th of November 2010 when more than 300 households and businesses were affected. We gained charitable status on 19 April 2016 (Charity No:1166604). The activities of the Forum are guided by a Board of Trustees that consists of individuals who possess either skills in flood risk management or an enthusiasm to make a difference locally. Board Meetings are also attended by representatives from Cornwall's flood 'Risk Management Authorities'; Cornwall Council, the Environment Agency, South West Water.

An emergency grab bag is a collection of essential items that are ready to use if your home loses power or you need to leave quickly, for example in a flood event.

Putting one together usually takes just a couple of hours and doesn’t have to cost a lot. Yet being prepared can reduce anxiety and stress, helping you and your family feel more confident should an emergency occur.

Once you’ve put together your emergency grab bag, we’d love to see it! Find our more and enter the competition below 👇

As our climate changes (as it always has, but this one with added emissions) and our seas warm, many parts of the country are expected to experience more frequent and more intense storms, flooding and heatwaves with fires. These events can lead to power cuts, travel disruption and interruptions to e...

🌊Last week, CCFF had the pleasure of being invited to Newquay Orchard & Seascape's People's Emergency Briefing Screening in Porth. We attended alongside some other brilliant local and Cornwall based organisations, and it was fantastic to hear about some of the great projects already happening in and around Newquay.

The film sparked interesting discussions around the challenges of climate change and in particular for CCFF, how our weather is changing. 🌧️

🌦️This week, our CCFF Officers had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Flood and Coast Conference in Liverpool. The officers were able to hear from and meet volunteers from Flood Groups across the country, see emerging technologies in the sector as well as hear from many inspiring projects and speakers. The officers are excited to bring this knowledge back to Cornwall and continue to work with our communities to help Cornwall be more resilient.🌳

Amy has spent almost 3 years working with communities as part of CCFF and we are beyond proud to see her succeed on a National stage. Amy has shown incredible dedication, hard work and commitment to supporting communities and this award truly reflects an incredible beginning to her career. Congratulations Amy! 🎉

🌳This week, CCFF visited Woodland Valley Farm to try and spot the 4 local beavers!🌳

Although we didn't spot any beavers this time round, we were able to see what they've been up to in their enclosure and the dams they have been busy building. This has alleviated the flooding in the surrounding areas and it was great to find out more about how beavers have the potential to benefit local ecosystems here in Cornwall.

Yesterday, CCFF Trustee, Jenny and Community Engagement Officer, Emma had the wonderful opportunity to run a workshop for Year 7 and Year 10 students at Wadebridge School

This was a great chance for them to look more in depth at the local flood risk and have a go at some of our practical Flood Warden scenario training! The students did a brilliant job and we hope to see them become Flood Wardens in years to come! A big thank you to the staff and students for welcoming us and making this possible.
