Since 1924 Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire (RCAN) has been, and continues to be, instrumental in rural community and economic development. As a charitable company, we are governed by a skilled, multi-disciplinary, Trustee Board made up of people with insight into and genuine commitment to rural communities. RCAN has a relatively small staff team for a countywide organisation so we target our resources on communities and individuals who face additional challenges based on rurality; and on community activists and groups who are striving to achieve cohesion, economic and social inclusion within Nottinghamshire.
