Newground have delivered flood programmes for over 15 years, helping individuals, businesses, and communities to better plan, prepare for and improve their flood resilience.
Following the December 2015 floods, Newground, who are known in the flood risk communities as The Flood Hub People have delivered the North West Regional Flood and Coastal Committee (RFCC) Community Flood Resilience programme across the region. They have worked with many Local Councils and Risk Management Authorities across the North West in delivering this fully funded programme of flood resilience support, to help residents and communities in their areas in becoming more flood resilient. They support individuals, businesses and communities to plan ahead for flooding, develop flood action groups, produce flood plans and gain knowledge.
Through direct engagement, public events and community meetings, the The Flood Hub People work with individuals to increase their general flood resilience, access funding and improve awareness of available products and services.
The Flood Hub People provide assistance to business owners so that they can become fully aware of their flood risk and the steps they can take to improve their flood resilience. They offer practical support to develop flood plans which outline the steps to take before, during and after a flood to allow for business continuity.
The Flood Hub People offers direct support, advice and guidance to residents wanting to ensure that their community is more resilient and better prepared for flood events. They work closely with risk management authorities and can help residents to organise and form community flood groups, identify and achieve their aims and objectives, develop bespoke community flood plans and deliver community-led flood resilience activities and schemes. All flood group support is tailored to the specific needs of the community and the area in which they operate.
