We are an independent charity and membership body and a rural community council, part of the national ACRE Network (Action with Communities in Rural England).

We help communities improve the quality of life for all people living and working in rural North, South and West Yorkshire.

Support from our members helps us to continue enabling and empowering voluntary organisations, community buildings, social enterprises and parish councils with practical support and gives you a voice that is heard by policymakers and service providers on a local, regional and national scale.

We’re here to help your organisation or project to succeed. Our membership packages have been designed to offer you the support you need to make a difference in your North, South or West Yorkshire community.
