SRA Annual Report 2021-22: Introduction to Building Local Resilience
This workstream is mostly about people. During 2021-22, therefore, it was inevitably affected by concerns about coronavirus and by pandemic restrictions. The impact of Covid-19 is why Somerset’s annual Community Resilience event was held online (again), and why popular film screenings got pushed back from autumn 2021 to February-March 2022.
However, there were still many more in-person get-togethers than there were in the year before. The SRA’s community engagement officers Emma Giffard and Dawn James were able to do things like give talks to Long Sutton Gardening Club and Langport Rotary Club, and take part in SCOP26+, Somerset’s version of the international event held in Glasgow – as well as activities detailed in the section of the SRA Annual Report 2021-22 about Building Local Resilience.
