Joint Civil Aid Corps

“CIVIL DEFENCE IS COMMON SENSE” - This is one of the rally cries from the Second World War but is as relevant today as then. “Mitigation, Preparation, Response, Recovery” The Joint Civil Aid Corps (the Corps) is a National Civil Defence (Emergency Support) organisation that aims to provide a disciplined voluntary reserve to the Emergency Services, Government, and other authorities. It will have trained volunteers able to meet the needs of communities across the country, and our official Purpose states that we exist “in order to fulfil the aim of the protection of life and property”, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The Corps is about people: how we see people, how we open our organisation to all, how we give opportunities for people to be a part of something. There are many unemployed people, lonely people, people without direction, people wanting to help, wanting to be seen, to feel wanted. There are many charities and organisations that focus on many social issues, and there are many people that still slip through the cracks. Many of these will not ask for help and support for varying reasons, but what the Corps can offer is for these people to gain help and support through their own efforts. The heart of the Corps will be its camaraderie. The same that is found in the emergency services and military – the sense of family and being a part of something that matters.

Help a Unique organisation succeed

Our profile gives you an indication of what we're trying to achieve, so if not already seen, please take a look. We need help to understand how best to get ourselves better known as we look to recruit and develop. Our targets are to have 3,000 volunteers by the end of March 2024, 15,000 by the end of year 2, 30,000 by the end of year 3. To make that happen we need someone with vision and focus to help us. The UK developed Civil Defence (emergency Support) as far back as 1924, and other countries followed. We are also the only country to get rid of it in 1968 - budget cutbacks! As things stand, we are the only Civil Defence organisation that is a charity, the others funded through their governments. We don't easily fit within the bounds of normally accepted charities, and yet, given the right support, will offer real change and support in many areas. To get a fuller picture, please get in touch and we can arrange a video call to discuss things. Many thanks for taking the time to consider us.
