How does The Hub
help its members?
We do this by:
- facilitating and supporting the development of innovative and business-led commercial activities;
- organising topical events and practical activities to improve business performance and stimulate business growth;
- communicating members’ needs to the agencies and organisations that can help them;
- providing an information signposting service for members:
- sharing experience and liaising with rural delivery networks across the country.
“The Hub helps to inspire its members to do something different, to embrace change and learn from each other.”
Henry Lucas,
Warwickshire Rural Hub Chair
Our Social Value Return
In 2020 the Rural Hub participated in a Defra funded project to measure the social value return of our work. But what is social value return? Put simply, it is the answer to the question ‘if £x is spent on delivering an activity, what is the value of that same £x in terms of wider benefits
for the local community?’ After participating in the project the Rural Hub was calculated as having a
Social Value Return of £9.84 for every £1 that is invested in us by our sponsors and supporters
