Cheshire Community Action is a local charity committed to providing funding, advice and support for projects designed to protect and enhance the rural – and increasingly the urban – communities of Cheshire.

It is one of 38 Rural Community Councils covering every County in England. Rural Community Councils were born out of the need to regenerate rural England in the years following the First World War. This national network of Rural Community Councils has never gone away and Cheshire Community Action is committed to developing and sustaining the County’s communities by providing advice and access to funding which will help increase quality of life. It does this by helping local communities to identify problems and then seeking solutions while building self-reliance and encouraging self-help.
