The WEST OF ENGLAND RURAL NETWORK is a charity established to provide an expert specialist resource in rural parts of South Gloucestershire, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset and Bristol. We work with communities, businesses, social enterprises, organisations and individuals to support and encourage community-led action and to increase the long-term sustainability of local community life. We are experienced in a wide range of topics that impact on rural life such as broadband, access to services, transport, affordable housing, fuel poverty, village halls & community assets, health & social care, funding advice and community led planning.
