Testimonials
What people are saying about our charity.
“It’s the most awful thing to be flooded – and it’s not just being flooded, it’s the threat of flooding. Seeing that water come towards you... you’ve got to get those sandbags out and you’ve got to get your floodgate up very quickly. It’s terrifying. That’s why we formed our own flood group to try to tackle some of the problems. One of our members knew about the National Flood Forum so we asked if we could be affiliated, and that’s when it really went massive. That’s when we got the multi-agency meetings and got to know who to talk to and make things happen. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known who to contact. The National Flood Forum is excellent. They got us going. When a community needs support, you can’t do it on your own - you need experts.”
Sue in Brompton
Being affiliated to the National Flood Forum really helped us to be taken seriously as a group from the start. It was also very useful to have the updates about the other groups and initiatives that were happening in other parts of the country. Keep up the good work.
Cherry in East Yorkshire
We got in touch with the National Flood Forum and one of their local representatives came to a meeting and helped us make contact with the various agencies that we needed to deal with, resulting in our first multi-agency meeting. They have helped us enormously, and with things that we wouldn’t otherwise have known about. They have opened our eyes – particularly to the concept of Slowing the Flow which we weren’t aware of until the National Flood Forum told us about it. They’ve really helped to organise us into a more cohesive group.
