– Promote economic inclusion and development across rural Nottinghamshire.
– Address issues of inequality, social exclusion and vulnerability faced by people in rural communities.
– Support active community engagement, volunteering and positive social action.
ABOUT
Since 1924 Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire (RCAN) has been, and continues to be instrumental in rural community and economic development. As a charitable company we are governed by a skilled, multi-disciplinary, Trustee Board made up of people with insight into and genuine commitment to rural communities.
RCAN has a relatively small staff team for a countywide organisation so we target our resources on: communities and individuals who face additional challenges based on rurality; and on community activists and groups who are striving to achieve cohesion, economic and social inclusion within Nottinghamshire.
