Letter of thanks from ACC Dave Miller
Dear Sussex Resilience Forum colleagues,
I write to you on behalf of the Sussex Resilience Forum (SRF) Co-ordinating Group to mark our recognition and gratitude for the role you have played in what has been an unprecedented multi-agency response to the Covid pandemic in Sussex.
It is now one year on from the SRF’s first Strategic Executive Group meeting (March 2020) to bring all of Sussex’s public sector agencies together to discuss and agree our joint response to the emerging threat. The multi-agency effort that has taken place in Sussex since then has been second to none. I don’t think any of us have ever seen this level of emergency response and, indeed, nor would we wish to.
While we continue working to protect our communities, it felt important to take a moment to pause and consider the mammoth effort made to date, as well as those of our volunteers, third sector partners and the public.
The SRF continues to co-ordinate the county’s response, resilience and recovery
plans for Sussex.
I am proud of how our services have worked side-by-side during the longest
emergency response Sussex has ever seen and we will continue to work closely
together as we recover from Covid-19.
This year looks to be another challenging one but I am pleased to be working with such brilliant colleagues to address some of the challenges we will face.
You have all demonstrated the strength of partnership and collaboration.
I thank you all for your dedication and hard work in what has been the most
challenging year.
Sussex Resilience Forum Chair Dave Miller
