Today is officially the first day of National Countryside Week.
To help ensure the future of our countryside they:
The Prince’s Countryside Fund relies on the income they generate through their corporate partnerships, events and donations. They are grateful for the generosity of all those that support them.
The British countryside is a huge natural asset and its contribution to our everyday life cannot be underestimated, so to help ensure its future, The Prince's Countryside Fund has launched The Village Survival Guide - How to build a strong community.
Featuring a foreword from Miranda Hart, the guide is based on the lived experiences of rural residents from all across the UK, and will help communities tackle a multitude of issues to make sure that their community will thrive in the future.
Featuring advice from experts, as well as the stories of those who've made a real difference in their rural community, The Village Survival Guide is a colourful manual that features case histories, checklists and practical advice, and is intended to help those living in the countryside to utilise the talents available in their own communities to tackle some of the social and economic barriers they face.
The Village Survival Guide follows on from the Fund’s 2018 research, which saw over 3000 people tell the charity about the challenges they faced living in rural areas, and how they were pulling together to overcome these.
