Demos is launching Resilient Nation, a new report on community resilience.

British society is increasingly brittle - but resilience is built not by government and the institutions of the state, but by individuals and communities. Resilient Nation argues for a new approach to resilience - and sets out a series of challenges to central and local government, the emergency services and voluntary organisations.

RSVP here if you would like to attend. Please note that space is limited. A light lunch and refreshments will be served.
