We review our emergency plans every year. You can see them here: https://www.cerg.org.uk/emergency-plan
If you have any feedback or ideas on what else we could do then please do contact us. If it is reasonable and safe for us to do something, we will always welcome your suggestions.
Good news! The committee has been working hard to formalise our registration as a Charity. This will open up funding opportunities etc for us, so hopefully help secure our future.
