It is intended to provide you with a brief overview of our location, day-to-day life within our small group of rural parishes and how we currently go about delivering the Gospel, along with our future aspirations. It is by no means exhaustive, but will, hopefully, contain enough information to inspire you to want to learn more. At the end of this document you will find contact details for both further enquiry and how to apply. Thank you for your interest. 3 Introduction The Benefice of Cranford, Grafton Underwood and Twywell in Northamptonshire was served by the Rector, the Revd Daniel Foot, for 35 years until his retirement at the end of September 2018. Slipton was informally added to this group in 1995. This document has been prepared to acquaint a potential successor with information concerning the four parish group. Although, since the inclusion of Slipton, now not wholly a formal Benefice, we regard ourselves as one. In general terms and for the purposes of this Profile and Vision Statement we refer to ourselves as a ‘ United Benefice ’.

IDACI 2019 : Useful Background Information The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) is one of the three English Indices of Deprivation. It is formatted using small geographical areas called Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), of which there are 32,844 across the country, with 194 of them falling within North Northamptonshire. At the time of the 2011 Census each LSOA represented around 1,600 people. Along with the main Index of Multiple Deprivation, the IDACI is released on an adhoc timescale by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG). The 2019 release, analysed here, replaces the 2015 version and was constructed primarily by Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI) on behalf of the MHCLG. Profiles for the proposed unitary authority of North Northamptonshire are also available for the other two indices which are part of the English Indices of Deprivation (see links in section 8) : The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) The Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) This profile, however, concentrates on the IDACI.
