Shining a Spotlight on Rural Community Needs

In collaboration with key stakeholders, Northamptonshire Community Foundation (NCF) has carried out a comprehensive investigation into the pressing challenges experienced by rural communities in Northamptonshire. This report aims to shed light on the critical issues of rural poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to essential services. By presenting the stories and statistical insights shared by residents, as well as data from our partners Local Insight (OCSI) and surveys conducted by Northamptonshire ACRE, NCF seeks to raise awareness and inspire action to address the hardships faced by rural Northamptonshire and build a dedicated funding programme to help address some of these issues.  To read the summary report and for links to further information please download the summary report below.
