Rural Flood Resilience Partnership

launches new website

Essential tools, resources and updates to support rural communities to better prepare for periods of severe weather are now available online via the new website of the Rural Flood Resilience Partnership.

The new site can be found at www.ruralfloodresilience.org.uk, and includes updated guidance for rural communities, farmers and landowners on everything from flood preparedness to recovery support.

ACRE is one of the six partnership members and hosts quarterly meetings in which Network colleagues can share information and best practice.

Members interested in joining one of these meetings should email Paul Dixon, Rural Evidence Manager, at p.dixon@acre.org.uk.

Corinne Pluchino, Chief Executive, Action with Communities in Rural England, said: “The Rural Flood Resilience Partnership is all about bringing different perspectives and expertise together with a shared sense of purpose.

“We’re already starting to see how local knowledge and shared effort can make a real difference.

“As we head into 2026, we will build on this momentum and increase the support available, to help strengthen rural resilience and deliver lasting benefits for local communities.”

Further practical guidance for improving the flood resilience of farm buildings will be published on the site later in the year.
