The Regional Community Resilience Group has helped communities prepare for & be resilient in severe weather situations since 2013.
As the RCRG marks its 10th anniversary, we’re introducing you to some of the members as part of the #30days30waysUK campaign’s #HiddenHeroes Day.
It's time to be #WeatherAware . ☔
When it rains, you can save water and time by letting the sky water your plants instead.
Make sure to check the weather forecast before going ahead with your gardening.
