#ThroughTheRuralLensThursday
Fetes and festivals are so much more than a way to while away an hour or 2 - for rural communities they "make the rhythm of the year" and "hold the soul of the community" -so beautifully put by Nicola, who is looking through the Rural Lens this week.
Join us on 2 Dec for a special afternoon exploring Neighbourhood Health: The Rural Picture.
Whether you work in health, care or community development, are involved in a local group, or simply care about the future of rural Devon, we’d love to see you.
