The latest blog from our CEO Hannah looks at the key findings of the latest Northumberland Public Health Report, and how they reflect the heart of what we do here at Adapt (NE).

Titled ‘Rural Realities: Health Inequalities in Rural Northumberland’, the report shines an important spotlight on the hidden health challenges faced by communities across one of England’s most rural counties. We’re proud that Northumberland contributed to this report, helping to shape its understanding of how rural residents experience, and too often struggle, to access health and social care.
