We are CAVRA, a dedicated voluntary resilience organisation supporting communities across England and Wales. As a registered charity (No. 1194929), our mission is simple but vital - to stand alongside the emergency services and local authorities, providing skilled support whenever and wherever it’s needed most.

 

Our strength lies in our people – trained, uniformed volunteers who form the backbone of our organisation. Together, we operate through three key sections:

• Community Emergency Volunteer Unit – The heart of CAVRA, delivering essential on-the-ground support during emergencies.

• National Emergency Resilience Support Unit – Specialist teams who bring extra skills and resources, reinforcing local volunteers when major incidents arise.

• Headquarters – The behind-the-scenes teams ensuring everything runs smoothly, keeping our volunteers ready and our operations effective.

• ​

At CAVRA, we believe in community, resilience, and the power of people working together.
