The Commission for Rural Community Development

The Carnegie UK Trust established the Commission in 2004 in the light of significant political, environmental and economic challenges affecting rural areas. The Commission's work is now complete and the findings are contained in the report 'A Charter for Rural Communities.'

Members of the Commission

Commission

The Commission comprised of internationally recognised rural experts from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines.

By drawing together leading commentators and thinkers on rural community development and by taking evidence from those who live and work in rural communities, the Trust is able to shed new light and propose some practical measures which will in turn inform public policy and improve the effectiveness of all of the players engaged in rural community development.
