About ACRE Action with Communities in Rural England is the national umbrella of the Rural Community Action Network (RCAN), which operates at national, regional and local level in support of rural communities across the country. We aim to promote a healthy, vibrant and sustainable rural community sector that is well connected to policy and decision-makers who play a part in delivering this aim. Our organisational vision is to provide a rural community development centre of expertise that is extensively used by policy makers and practitioners. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has invested in the Rural Community Action Network under a three-year contract, administered by ACRE, to deliver strategic advocacy on behalf of rural communities. ACRE is also recognised for its contribution to third sector policy through its strategic partner status with the Office of the Third Sector, with whom it has a three-year funded relationship.
