About us

RSN is the national champion for rural services, ensuring that people in rural areas have a strong voice. We are fighting for a fair deal for rural communities to maintain their social and economic viability for the benefit of the nation as a whole.

 OUR PRIORITIES 

We have four priority areas where we focus our work, Public Sector Funding, Barriers to Access, Future of Rural Areas and Health and Wellbeing.  This section sets them out in more detail.

 OUR MEMBERS 

Our membership is wide ranging and this area provides a flavour of the organisations that interact and are in membership with the Rural Services Network.

 PUBLICATIONS 

Key research reports and publications produced by the Rural Services Network are included in this section.

 OUR TEAM 

This section provides an overview of our team members that work around England, supporting the RSN.

 HOW WE WORK 

This section sets out the ways in which we provide our services and help to provide a voice for rural areas.

 FAIRER FUNDING 

The RSN campaigns for fairer funding for rural areas.  It costs more to deliver services in rural areas and the way that the Local Government Finance Settlement has been calculated has resulted in rural areas being significantly underfunded when compared to urban areas for a number of years.  We want fairer funding for rural areas.
