Community Resilience Project Volunteer

East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service Community Volunteer Scheme is working alongside partners to support individuals to develop or regain their resilience after they have had an issue in their life which has affected their confidence.

The project is to support adults over the age of 18 who have been identified as benefiting from additional resilience support. It is about seeing people as experts in their own lives and working alongside them with the aim of enabling them to reach better resolution of their circumstances and recovery. Individuals will be involved in all discussions and decisions as to the best course of action for them.

The individual might have worked with Adult Social Care to identify the outcome they would like to achieve with the volunteers support. At the same time, we can provide fire safety advice or referral as necessary
