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.

Rural Community Councils

The Rural Community Action Network consists of 38 Rural Community Councils throughout England. RCCs are charitable local development agencies, generally based in counties, which support and enable initiatives in rural communities.

RCCs are part of formal or informal regional networks that facilitate and coordinate activities on a regional basis.
