The WRCC is the only organisation solely dedicated to supporting rural communities in Warwickshire and Solihull. We exist to improve quality of life for rural people and to make sure that the unique rural community life in Warwickshire is protected and developed.
We do this by
Life Well Link is an information and support centre that helps anyone who has been affected by a serious illness, be it patient, family member or friend.
They are based in Arden Street, Stratford upon Avon in the Stratford Health care building, above the coffee shop. They provide up-to-date, quality information and support in a relaxed, non clinical, welcoming environment.
The service was developed and is funded by The Shakespeare Hospice.
The Guardian and Unltd have teamed up to offer awards of between £500 and £5,000 to people who want to take action to improve the environment, whether it's through a local community recycling scheme, a high impact climate change project or campaigning to bring local food to your area. The important thing is that the idea has the potential to make a difference, is creative but achievable and that people are committed, enthusiastic and focused.
A new guide has been published by WRCC entitled 'A Step-by-Step Guide to Delivering New Homes for Local People in Stratford on Avon District'. The guide gives ideas on how to meet the housing needs of local people in your community. Contact housing@wrccrural.org.uk for your copy or telephone 02476 303232.
