## Trustees Report
KCERP became a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission on the 12 September 2016. It is a partnership made up of local voluntary and statutory partner organisations.
This report covers the reporting period from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022.
## Objects
1. To relieve those in the Keswick area who are in conditions of need, hardship, or distress as a result of an emergency or natural or other disaster.
2. To promote public safety and to protect the lives and property of all those in the Keswick area in particular but not exclusively by assisting the civil authorities in the relief and management of responses to civil emergencies or natural or other disasters (planning, preparation and recovery) and by holding Keswick’s Community Emergency Plan (CEP).
We do this through the use of volunteers who act in support of the statutory response by the emergency services and the local authorities.
The primary use of the partnership has been during flooding events, but the CEP covers other emergency situations.
## Review of Activities
The Partnership now has regular Trustee meetings (Four times a year).
Kimberley Ward works on a freelance basis as Project Manager for the partnership, working with Trustees and Volunteers.
We currently have around 80 volunteers registered with us, as well as pledged support from Keswick Womens’ Group and Keswick School Borders. This is steady compared to last year, with some new volunteers joining and some retiring.
We have reviewed and updated the community emergency plan for winter 21/22. We will continue to review the plan on an annual basis.
We have applied for and received funding from Cumbria Community Foundation for the purchase of radios and flood information leaflets. We have provided radio training for lead volunteers in February.
In addition to this planned work, we have continued to support other developing emergency groups, sharing ideas and offering support. We have supported Applethwaite with sandbag purchase and delivery.
## Thank-you
This work would not have been possible without the support of our partners, who have helped to develop the community emergency plan and to give practical help, such as use of buildings and equipment.

Thanks to Cumbria Community Foundation for supporting our work, the
funding has allowed us to purchase an entire new radio system and to Keswick Mountain Rescue for their advice with purchasing and setting up our new radios. Thank you to Keswick Town Council for their ongoing support.
Finally a huge thank you to all the volunteers who are ready to respond in any emergency situation. We know that should a further emergency situation occur, they will be ready to support.
