In a significant development aimed at addressing teacher recruitment challenges in rural areas, the University of Exeter has announced the opening of new teacher training hubs.

In the last week, Sir John Hayes posed a written question to the Government asking: “To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking to reduce homelessness in rural areas.”
Rural MPs had a clear message for the government during their Westminster Hall debate last week on the funding of rural councils; act now or councils will go bust and lives will be lost. The Rural Services Network provided briefing notes to MPs to ensure that they fully understand the picture of rural unfair funding and several of the MPs used our information to quote in the debate.

It’s been nearly a week since the Chancellor delivered his Autumn Statement and RSN Chief Executive Kerry Booth and her team have been digesting what it means for rural communities and the organisations that serve them
Rising costs are causing serious and widespread problems for rural businesses in parts of England which is curtailing their ability to invest and grow, according to a major new survey from the National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise (NICRE)
As the Rural Homelessness Counts Coalition, representing over 20 organisations dedicated to addressing homelessness, we are compelled to express our profound concern regarding the Home Secretary’s recent statements and legislative proposals targeting the use of tents by people experiencing homelessness.
New research by Plunkett Foundation has shown that community businesses are committed to social and environmental action despite facing multiple challenges which are threatening the economic viability of many businesses UK wide.
An investigation by the BBC has found that people living in rural areas say they still can’t afford to install heat pumps, despite the government offering more financial incentives.
