Rural Communities Buildings research

Defra contracted Rural Partnerships to research funding for rural community buildings in partnership with rural stakeholders including 15 Rural Community Councils. The research focuses on issues around funding applications, looking at barriers to funding and success factors. It also examined the tangible and intangible benefits the facilities bring to local communities. The report was published in January 2007 and is available on the Defra website at:  http://defra.gov.uk/rural/pdfs/research/rcb-full-report.pdf
