Supporting rural communities to thrive since 1975
Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council (HWRCC) is an independent charity working to improve the sustainability and vibrancy of rural communities in the East Riding of Yorkshire, North and North East Lincolnshire.
We support and encourage rural communities to develop, so they can influence their own futures and secure a range of community facilities and services. We do this by:
- Specialising in transport and access to services, affordable rural housing, rural community facilities, community led planning, support training and empowerment of community leaders.
- Supporting, developing and representing rural voluntary and community organisations.
- Working to improve the delivery of health and social care services and services for older people.
- Gathering and analysing information on rural issues - planning and delivering workable solutions to overcome issues and disadvantage in our rural area.
- Working in partnership with other key agencies including DEFRA, Local Authorities, Primary Care Trusts, Police, Fire and Rescue, and other voluntary and community sector organisations.
- Influencing rural policy and working to strengthen the voluntary and community sector at locally and nationally.
HWRCC is one of 38 Rural Community Councils covering England and Wales, all operating independently, and working closely with Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE), our collective national voice www.acre.org.uk.
