Now there is a completely new website for our project Strengthen the community, a collaboration around local preparedness that ended in the spring of 2025. You can find it here: leaderlinne.se/rusta
What is Strengthen the community about?
The project has targeted communities in our area with the goal of strengthening local preparedness through collaboration, knowledge, and engagement. On the new site, we have gathered our experiences, methods, and lessons learned. Completely free to use for you who want to strengthen safety and cooperation where you live.
Listen to our podcast
Now all four episodes of the Strengthen the community podcast are available on Spotify (and most other platforms where you find podcasts).
In the episodes, you will hear participants from the project share their own experiences. From farming on a ”preparedness farm” to handling a tornado with the help of neighborly love.
The project group also shares their biggest challenges and best tips for you to get started with preparedness work in your own locality.
Apply for the Strengthen the community fund
Even though the project is now completed, work continues in the communities and with us at Leader Linné. Right now, you can apply for our special micro-support the Strengthen the community fund, and receive up to 24,000 SEK to develop local preparedness where you live. Here you can find the application and more info: Our micro-supports
Strengthen the community was a collaboration between Leader Linné, Hela Sverige ska leva, the Community Center District, the Study Association Vuxenskolan, and Coompanion Kronoberg.
