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.

Policy Position Papers

ACRE has recently coordinated the production of a suite of 10 new policy position papers detailing the work of RCAN.

The papers have been received very positively from those looking for more detailed information about the issues facing rural communities. The papers present the context and background of issues facing RCAN and rural communities, but in addition provide details of case studies of communities taking action for themselves, demonstrating innovation and resilience.

Please click on the links below to read or download the papers. For more information please contact Nick Chase at n.chase@acre.org.uk
