Effects of climate change on our rural communities

All of us experienced some difficulties as a consequence of the severe weather that hit the region at the end of last year. But, those living in our rural communities were particularly affected, with many people feeling trapped within their communities or even their homes.

Community Development - Making it happen

Holme upon Spalding Moor Village Hall was an ideal venue for HWRCC's Annual General Meeting at the end of last year.

This event focused on community development, making it happen, and how HWRCC and partners, have developed and supported rural voluntary and community organisations, and local people, in taking a more active role in improving service provision.
