A new independent organisation dedicated to finding practical, progressive solutions
to the problems and challenges facing rural communities starts operating today.

The Rural Regeneration Unit (RRU), which is structured as a not-for-profit company,
will be politically and financially non-aligned. It seeks to assist relevant government
departments and agencies, public sector bodies and charitable foundations in translating
public policy into grass-root action and self-help.

The RRU’s current intiatives include Food Co-operatives in Cumbria, Community Nutrition
Development in Wales, and ‘Kids in the Countryside’ Scheme.
