## Pang Valley Flood Forum ## Trustees Report to 31[st] March 2025 **Trustees:** Kay Lacey (Chairman) Piers Allison(Vice Chair) Stephen Billyeald (Treasurer) Brian Connorton Ben Mitchell Stephen Davis It has been another busy year for the Pang Valley Flood Forum, in part due to the flooding experienced in the winter of 2024/2025. ## **Meetings:** PVFF held three online meetings via Microsoft Teams in the 12 month period (April 2024, October 2024 and Jan 2025) attended by representatives from the Pang villages as well as from the three RMAs (Risk Management Authority). Actions within the Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) were updated at the meeting. Details of the FRMP and associated actions can be found on the PVFF website www.floodalleviation.uk as well as more information in the minutes for each meeting. Our **AGM** was held on the 14[th] November 2024 as an in person meeting. PVFF hosted Teams meetings in May 2024 for the **Swallowfield Flood Resilience Group** and in September 2024 with the **A417 Future Flood Resilience group** . These meetings were requested by the two organisations as they wished to learn more about our dashboard, website, ways of working and various NFM projects etc. ## **Other Activities:** ## **Talks** Over the year we gave talks to **Pangbourne and Whitchurch Sustainability Group** (PAWS) and **Tidmarsh Parish Council** . We also gave presentations on our experience of delivering an NFM project at the **Cirencester Waterways Conference** (June 2024), presented on the **National Consortium of Societal Resilience** webinar (November 2024) and at the **Building Communities Together Community Forum** at West Berkshire Council offices (November 2024). We also presented about our work to the **South Chilterns Catchment Partnership** members (Jan 2025). In October 2024 the Chair took part in the live **Media Briefing on Flooding** at West Berkshire Council offices and was interviewed on **BBC South Today** tv programme. She also gave two interviews on **Radio Berkshire** live. ## **Education** In June, for the fifth year running, the PVFF had a stand at the Englefield Schools Countryside Day. This is held over two days on the Englefield Estate. We talked to some 500 schoolchildren from a number of different primary schools about the risks associated with flooding, the dangers hidden in flood water and the benefits of natural flood management. ## **Stakeholder Groups** PVFF are a key stakeholder in the **Pang Flagship Chalkstream Restoration Partnership** and have attended regular monthly meetings since its inauguration in Jan 2022. PVFF are now a member of the **Steering Group** . PVFF are also a member of the **South Chilterns Catchment Partnership** . ## **Other** On 26th November 2024 we ran a **Flood Insurance Presentation** and **Q&A** at Pangbourne Village Hall. **Flood Re** talked to local residents about how their scheme worked, and **Fernco** and **PVFF** both had stands with samples of Flood Resilience products. This event was attended by some 40 residents from across Berkshire and beyond. In Jul 2024 we took part in a workshop organised by **Manchester University** and commissioned by the **Environment Agency** . The EA wanted to understand how they could improve their methods of working with voluntary organisations.
