Fact sheet – Schemes to help people and businesses affected by storm and flooding damage

17 February 2014

In recent weeks, Cornwall has been affected by a series of severe weather events, resulting in serious damage from flooding, high waves and strong winds.

A wide range of agencies have been involved in responding to these emergencies and in helping communities to recover afterwards.  Agencies that are involved include Cornwall Council, Devon & Cornwall Police, Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service, the Environment Agency, NHS, the voluntary and community sector, Town & Parish Councils, utility companies and many others.

A formal multi agency recovery team has now been established which will work alongside the ongoing response operation. The recovery team is now working to provide support to individuals and businesses in over 30 communities across Cornwall, from Penzance to Bude and Calstock.

Offers of help

A number of organisations are offering financial and practical help to individuals and families whose homes have been damaged, or have lost or damaged essential household items or other possessions. Residents and businesses have also been coming forward to make donations, or volunteering to help.

If you would like to volunteer or donate household items, please contact Volunteer Cornwall on: 01872 265305.
