Purpose The ACRE network is made up of 38 rural community councils (RCCs) across England who help communities to help themselves.

Our vision - to be the voice of rural communities.

Our Mission - is to provide critical, evidence-based intelligence and solutions to achieve a fair deal for rural communities.

Rccs are charitable local development agencies, generally based at county level, which lead, support and enable community initiatives to, reaching 50,000 grassroots organisations.

Services From running community transport schemes and oil-buying clubs, to assessing housing needs supporting older people to stay in their homes, the 900 staff across Network offer a wide range of specialist skills.

We offer advise & support for village halls.
