action - with communities in Cumbria

Since 1968 Cumbria Rural Forum has created opportunities for individuals and organisations to debate rural issues and consider how changing public policy and economic trends impact on the County's rural communities. These debates have resulted in numerous projects and actions to influence public policy so that it better meets rural needs.

Facilitated by ACT, Cumbria Rural Forum:
- maintains a programme of 3 - 4 events each year on a local or national topics relevant to Cumbria
- engages in the review and assessment of needs and priorities
- takes part in strategic consultations to represent the view of rural communities

The Forum has recently published The Rural Challenge which is a statement of key concerns that affect the County.

Reports from past Forum events are available on line.
