VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – Flood Action Group (FLAG)
The FLAG team are preparing for the rainy season and could use extra hands and equipment to keep the village safe:

Equipment: Do you have a trailer to move vegetation, or access to a digger/grab truck for bigger jobs?

Residents of The Butts: Could you spare a couple of hours to help clear the downstream stretch near you? (Date TBC – please chat with your neighbours.)

At home: While it’s still dry, please clear your gutters and surface water drains to keep water moving.

If you can help with time or equipment, please email crudwellflag@gmail.com.

Volunteers are at the heart of The Churn Project. They play a vital role helping us to deliver services and making a positive impact on people’s lives.

This year over 114 active volunteers have supported our work and another 200 volunteers contributed to one off events and projects. 

Volunteers make a difference in the local community across a range of roles, including boosting donations, packing food parcels, providing a warm welcome, tackling loneliness, signposting to additional services, connecting with partners, raising awareness and leading projects.

Join our team of volunteers who together are invaluable to delivering our advice service and supporting witnesses. Together we helped over 2.5 million people face to face, over the phone, by email and chat in England and Wales last year.

The Volunteer Flood Warden Scheme, a vital initiative provided by Gloucestershire Rural Community Council (GRCC) in partnership with Cotswold District Council, is helping communities across the Cotswolds prepare for and respond to flooding events, by equipping residents with knowledge and tools.
