South East Rural Community Councils (SERCC)

Action with Communities in Rural England

ACRE’s rural vision

Our vision is that rural communities will increasingly take a leading role in ensuring the social, environmental and economic well-being of all their residents. They will do this in a way that provides for the present generation and also plans for future needs and future challenges. RCAN members will be there to stimulate their thinking, support their work and help turn their aspirations into reality.

SERCC is the association of eight Rural Community Action Network members in the South East. It is a registered charity and its board of trustees consists of chief executives and chairs of the RCAN members in the region. SERCC’s primary aims are to:

Be the leading catalyst for community development in the South East, predominantly in rural areas
Provide high quality services to enable people to build thriving, diverse and sustainable rural communities in a pleasant environment
Determine that government policies at local, regional and national level take account of rural communities
Ensure that the rural voice is heard.
