The Scottish Flood Forum is funded by the Scottish Government and works in partnership with SEPA and other relevant organisations. We’re a community based Scottish organisation, supporting and representing those affected by or ‘at risk’ of flooding.

We’re an independent voice, representing the interests of people and communities affected or ‘at risk’ from flooding.

We establish Community Flood groups and provide flood information, awareness, education and training (to all sectors) to reduce risk and assist in the recovery of flooding. We work in partnership with Local Authorities and the voluntary sector (including faith communities) to help community groups deal with flood issues.

Paul Hendy heads up the Scottish Flood Forum and he’s got a wealth of experience as a flood recovery consultant and advisor, working with the voluntary sector and flood affected communities. His role is to focus on partnership, working with Local Authorities, Community groups, the Voluntary sector and SEPA. He’s central in developing an ongoing support network throughout Scotland where flood risk is an issue.

He believes that knowledge and training helps people understand and cope with the trauma and effects of flooding. By working closely with community flood groups, he shares his experience and extensive knowledge with ‘at-risk’ or previously flooded communities.

Paul’s based in Perth but spends much of his time visiting and working with local communities and groups all over Scotland. He also is addressing the issues regarding vulnerability and ‘flood resilience’ in Scottish communities.
