Our Annual Review

We collect information on all the services and support we offer to our members and community groups. This information is invaluable in showing how effective our work is and what value for money we offer. Each year we produce an Annual Review that accompanies our Annual Accounts report.

• All the support provided to the 217 Covid-19 groups our Rural Officer worked with
