What is ‘resilience’?

One of the three Sustainable Sidmouth Champions Awards is about recognising ‘resilience’:

Resilience Award – Sustainable Sidmouth Champion Awards

There’s a handy short definition:

The ability to withstand adversity and adapt and grow to overcome difficult life events”

But how exactly does this idea translate into showing ‘resilience’ in the Sid Valley these last twelve or so months?

Although the VGS is not seeking to promote one group or business over another, here are a couple of examples which have been pretty resilient of late:

Sid Valley Food Bank

In My Back Yard: new East Devon food network expands – Vision Group for Sidmouth

Here are a couple more links looking at the general idea as well as more specific examples:
