Humber & Wolds Rural Community Council
Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council (HWRCC) is a registered charity (established in 1975) working in the villages and smaller rural communities throughout East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
HWRCC is one of 38 Rural Community Councils, which together cover the whole of England and form the Rural Community Action Network (RCAN). This is headed up by Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE), who form our collective national voice. www.acre.org.uk
We support and encourage rural communities to develop, so they can:
- Influence their own futures
- Improve current and future social and economic environments
- Secure a range of community facilities and services
Our team has a wealth of experience in working with rural communities, offering a professional and knowledgeable service.
HWRCC also works at a strategic level nationally, regionally and locally, with partners in the statutory and voluntary sectors, tackling a range of rural policy issues, including the development of key rural issues, community enterprises, employment opportunities, rural regeneration and social inclusion.

Many of the 38 RCC’s were established as early as the 1920s. RCC’s are charities, with a long record of responding to local needs and opportunities throughout their lifetimes.
