Hidden Need in Rural Norfolk recommendations paper released at all-star Norfolk Show

We have released a Spotlight report on the increasing need in rural communities with the launch at the Norfolk Show this week.

The event drew great support from across Norfolk and was hosted by the President of our Patrons Club, The Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, Lady Dannatt, MBE.

We produced a short paper to underline the importance of commissioning that fully includes these communities when planning services.

We were delighted to host a breakfast launch at the Norfolk Show on Thursday and to hear from farmer-turned-TV-star Ben Brooke who spoke about the Hawkstone Choir and winning Britain’s Got Talent recently. Ben also gave a sense of the challenges facing farmers and how services need to change to ensure this community is properly supported.
