As the national champion for rural services, the Rural Services Network brings you the latest stories shaping life in rural communities. 

Here’s a snapshot of what we’re covering in this week’s rural news:

• Rural Housing Is About More Than Homes: Housing shapes local economies, public services and community life. This Rural Housing Week, we explore why affordable homes are fundamental to thriving rural communities.

• Toolkit Launched To Support Rural Affordable Housing: A new toolkit has been launched for Rural Housing Week, aimed to help communities ensure affordable rural housing is recognised in long-term planning.

• A Rural Touring Story: New research is highlighting how rural touring is doing far more than bringing arts to villages - strengthening communities, tackling isolation and supporting local economies.
