We are the Civil Aid Voluntary Rescue Association (CAVRA), a voluntary resilience organisation operating within the United Kingdom, across the England and Wales area . We are a registered charity (no.1194929), and our purpose is to provide back-up personnel to the emergency services and local authorities in a range of situations.

​

Our trained and uniformed volunteers fall within one of our three sections:

- Community Emergency Volunteer Unit - Our core operations

- National Emergency Resilience Support Unit - Our specialist nationalised teams who support our local Community Emergency Volunteers

- Headquarters - Non-operational teams that ensure CAVRA operations are running correctly.
