As part of #BigHelpOut in partnership with Northants Community Foundation, visited Oundle Open Gardens and volunteers helping to man gardens #Volunteers loveOundle

Wow! My photograph really doesn’t do this beautiful place justice. St Just in Roseland Church is a 13th century Church, with a 6th Century Celtic Heritage, in a unique waterside semi-tropical garden by a tidal creek. A gardener’s dream. 🏝️🌴 #roselandpeninsula #cornwallcoastpath

The past week has been a terrible one for UK communities. In the face of the violent riots, the immense compassion and support towards communities affected has been heart-warming. We've shared our response: ukcommunityfoundations.org/news/respondin…

Almost 1/3 of Northamptonshire residents live in rural communities. We're committed to ensuring that these communities receive their fair share of funding; we're thrilled that we've been able to award more than £109,000 to charities supporting rural residents across the county.

In September I’ll be taking on the mighty #SouthCoastchallenge trekking 100km from Eastbourne to Arundel to raise funds for Northants Community Foundation You can read more about why I’m fundraising via my JustGiving page: justgiving.com/page/rachel-mc…
