“Ruth Abram, who is a Rural Outreach Officer for Community Futures, said she believed every village needed a point of contact to help those who felt isolated.”
“Rural communities are often misunderstood,” she said. “I think there’s a preconception of wealth and affluence and often that’s not the case. There’s a lot of services that have been cut, there’s a lot of things that don’t happen anymore, bus services, transport and things like that. Health care is now out of those areas and people struggle.”
