Resilience

Christmas can be a stressful time for many and for those who are suffering from the ravages of flooding, the new year probably can’t come quickly enough. But the response to recent events has been heartwarming (but unsurprising). Nerea has been working in Glenridding, which has been flooded three times in as many weeks. Despite the apocalyptic scenes, she says the local community have rallied round to support one another and help themselves through the unenviable process of clearing up, all the while dreading more heavy rain.  When times are difficult, it is remarkable how those affected show such resilience.
