Rural Community Development Good news for the local Rural Voluntary Community Sector
Colin Roberts has recently joined the GVOC team as Rural Community Development Worker. This part time post is funded until 2008 by DEFRA under their Rural Social and Community Programme for England. This pilot project recognises that there needs to be investment in longer-term capacity building to address the problems of diverse and dynamic rural communities. The project aims to work closely with rural communities to ensure that
More rural residents feel they can influence decisions
affecting their local area
More rural residents feel that their local area is a place where
people can get on well together
More rural residents carry out voluntary work in an organisation
There can be growth of local rural Voluntary Community Sector capacity
and activity.
