Action with Communities in Rural England

Action with Communities in Rural England, or ACRE as it is widely known, is active in promoting the interests of rural communities. It also acts as the national umbrella organisation for 38 Rural Community Councils throughout England.

ACRE aims to promote a healthy, vibrant and sustainable rural community sector that is well connected to policies and initiatives at national, regional, sub regional and local levels.

ACRE's organisational vision is to provide a rural community development centre of expertise that is extensively used by policy makers and practitioners.
