Strengthening Rural Communities in North Norfolk
- 1. Strengthening Communities Ryburgh in North Norfolk -An example of how it can be done
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Community shop pictured on the opening day 2 nd March 2009 -Ryburgh is a village you may have heard Norfolk RCC talk about before. -Good example of how a rural community can respond to challenges
- -Challenges faced by all villages these are not uncommon to other Norfolk villages. -What is impressive is the way that Ryburgh has responded to these challenges.
- -Ryburgh Shop took out £20k loan and received grant funding from Plunkett Foundation and co-op -Funding application in for play area £50k from Community Spaces to improve play facilities on field. -Worked closely with SNT to improve issues of anti-social behaviour on the playing field. Keeping them informed of issues has led to some useful interventions from the police on the playing field.
- 2 examples of projects that we are working with the community in Ryburgh on.
- -Not a new idea in villages to support individuals, in lots of villages this happens on an informal basis. -Aim of this project is to assist those who may not access support through traditional routes ie newcomers to village. -Increasing proportion of elderly people living in villages of these people they often don’t have family nearby. Young may have moved away for work or more affordable housing. -Added benefit of project is safeguarding volunteers and clients by putting an added element of structure to informal support. Ie CRB checking volunteers/ signposting to additional support -In Suffolk over 20 projects are run by our sister organisation Suffolk ACRE.
- Intergenerational element to the project
- -Steering committee will match requests for help with volunteers. -Average 24 requests for help per month demonstrates strong benefit of project within communities.
- -Access4Life is a Norfolk County Council funded project that aims to improve accessibility to key services for people living in rural areas. -Project area borders Ryburgh -By working with a project steering group made up of local partners, consultation is carried out in the areas identified by the Local Transport Plan, to be the most in need of accessibility improvements .
- -Realistically Colkirk would be unlikely to sustain a shop on shop on its own. - However by speaking to neighbouring parish –Ryburgh steering committee identified potential to link those wanting nearby village shop with existing shop
- 9 people struggling to access local shops indicates a clear need. Consultation really important and valuable in getting what your community needs.
- -Project will make Ryburgh shop stronger and more sustainable in the long term. -Works in a similar way to community car scheme but targeted at making local community shop accessible to those in neighbouring village.
