A free, family-friendly Community Resilience Fair takes place at Twickenham's Civic Centre on Saturday 10 October, giving residents a practical grounding in how to prepare for emergencies, severe weather and flooding.
The event brings together Richmond Council services, voluntary organisations, emergency services and resilience partners under one roof. Visitors can drop into interactive workshops and talks covering emergency preparedness, flood awareness, health resilience, support for vulnerable people, and how to volunteer in a crisis. A free lunch will also be provided.
For Barnes residents, the event is a useful opportunity to think through household flood preparedness — particularly relevant given the area's proximity to the Thames and Beverley Brook. The Civic Centre is at 44 York Street, Twickenham TW1 3BZ and is accessible by public transport.
No booking appears to be required; the council's notice describes it as a drop-in fair. The event is free of charge. Richmond Council — Community Resilience Fair
