Earlier this year, the Rural Voice Panel took the Rural Art Exhibition on the road across North East Fife, sharing creative work that highlights the real impact of the Rural Premium. The exhibition was created with local partners including Crail Community Larder and NEF Youth Voice, bringing together powerful stories and artwork from people with lived experience of rural poverty.
Watch our highlights video to see some of the artwork, hear from those involved, and get a sense of the conversations sparked in communities along the way.
You can also listen to a specially written poem by Rural Voice Panel member and Crail Community Larder volunteer, Caoimhe McMahon. Her words capture the realities of rural life and the strength of community voices.
