VAC works with people and communities to improve the quality of life in rural Cumbria

Rural Community Officers

VAC's team of Rural Community Officers support Cumbria's rural communities. They work in collaboration with the County and District Councils, and the Local Strategic Partnerships. The team helps with a broad range of issues, for example:

Registering as a charity
Constitutions
Play and Recreation facilities
Maintaining village shops and services with community support
Assisting groups to develop their ideas so they can involve others, raise funds and be successful
Translating policies and strategies into everyday language for commnuities to understand and work with

We often put people in touch with other organisations too, and produce good practise examples and toolkits which can be found in the resources section of our website.
