Social isolation and loneliness are some of the most significant but often hidden needs in Northamptonshire today. Especially in rural areas, where services can be limited and communities can be physically and digitally disconnected, people of all ages face the growing challenge of feeling unseen, unsupported, and alone.
Each month, we celebrate Community Heroes across Northamptonshire. These organisations are working tirelessly to improve the lives of our county's most vulnerable residents, and we're very proud to support them.
