The range of threats, risks and predictable crises facing the UK is growing, rapidly. This report seeks to build greater awareness and understanding of the vital role of social infrastructure, social capital, voluntary capacity, and trusted information-sharing in crisis response and recovery. It’s a call for investors, businesses, state actors and all who play a critical role in a national or local crisis to respect and recognise local people and communities as part of our Critical National Infrastructure in times of crisis.
