Our events

Our events

The VCS Emergencies Partnership has a well-established programme of online events that run throughout the year. We are continually developing a programme, based on feedback, that supports partners to connect, share learning, and build collective understanding of the capabilities required in emergency preparedness, response and recovery.

Whilst there are shared values, each event has its own focus:

Resource Pages

Mental Health Network

Learning

Reports from the sector

Network Calls

Join our dynamic monthly meetings to hear the latest partnership updates, engage with experts, and collaborate with community groups, charities and policymakers. This is our strategic thinking and feedback space - your chance to share your successes and innovations and influence national decisions affecting communities in emergency response.

Capability Building Events

Work with others to develop the skills you need to prepare for emergencies. These meetings take place three times a year and are safe spaces to share experiences and learn through speakers, workshops and small discussion groups. Explore how we can tackle emerging and existing challenges together.

Partnership in Practice

Make friends before you need them. These meetings take place three times a year and are the place to build connections and share ideas in specific geographical areas, between specialist groups or amongst communities with similar interests or challenges. Hear about the experiences of others on a topic you all have in common and use the space to discuss your own experiences in a supportive group.
