Building Confident Rural Communities
Powering community-led solutions
Too often, rural communities are without access to transport, jobs, housing, shops and community spaces. The Prince’s Countryside Fund powers community-led solutions through our grants and resources to ensure that they flourish, now and in the future.
Since The Prince’s Countryside Fund was founded in 2010, we have supported 407 projects, including:
Community spaces
Transport schemes
Training and skills projects
