Cost of living crisis - what is the impact on rural communities?

The Rural Services Network (RSN), of which the Countryside Alliance is a member, has launched a Rural Cost of Living Household Survey and need to hear from you.

Independent research last year shows rural areas are suffering more acutely from the cost of living crisis compared to urban areas.

To make the case for fairer funding for rural areas we are supporting the RSN in calling on as many rural residents as possible to complete the Rural Cost of Living Household Survey.

Research has shown that those living in rural areas face extra costs and this important research will explore what the impacts are for rural households and their budgets at , what is, a very difficult time for many.

The results of the survey will help make the case for fairer funding for rural Britain and ensure we can engage more effectively with government departments, MPs and other policy makers. The more voices we have responding to the survey the better for rural communities.

We understand if you are unable, or indeed unwilling, to give answers to some of the questions, complete those you can.
