SUPPORTING FRONT LINE WORKERS

When it comes to responding to emergencies, front-line workers may often require additional support from the voluntary sector and other organisations who provide specialist skills and services.

The Collaboration Zone is a dedicated space within The Emergency Services Show that shines a spotlight on the charities, voluntary groups, non-profit organisations and NGOs that provide vital support to first responders before, during and after emergencies.

Home to over 90 organisations, the zone offers visitors the chance to connect directly with the teams and initiatives that make a real difference on the front line, from mental health and welfare support, to search and rescue, recovery and community resilience.
