Scottish Rural Action has existed as a Company Ltd by Guarantee (SC461352) since 2013 and as a Scottish Charity (SC048086) since 2018.
Our vision is for vibrant and connected rural and island communities which have control over their future, and which contribute to building a society that is inclusive, just and sustainable.
We put our values of inclusion, diversity, cooperation, democracy and impact into practice through working with our members and partners at national, regional and community levels to:
- build a grassroots-led rural movement in Scotland that connects rural communities with each other and with politicians and decision-makers;
- collaborate with seldom-heard groups to create platforms that better enable their participation in the rural movement;
- collectively develop a cross-sectoral, locally-informed understanding of rural Scotland's economy, society and culture that shapes local practice and national policy;
- deliver the biennial Scottish Rural and Islands Parliament
