In a time of rising costs, shrinking budgets, and growing pressure on public services, communities are stepping up — and Roz Savage MP is right there with them.
Roz’s Stronger South Cotswolds mission is about helping every town, village and hamlet take practical action on the issues they care about most: food security, flooding, social isolation, climate resilience, and more. Whether it’s launching a food pantry, starting a buddy scheme, or reducing food waste — Roz believes local leadership makes all the difference.
Her team is working hard behind the scenes to connect groups, unlock funding, and shine a spotlight on success stories. This page is part of that plan: a growing, practical resource that puts community at the heart of change.
“The South Cotswolds is strong — because our communities are strong. Together, we’re making sure everyone has a say, and no one is left behind”
