Does your voluntary or community organisation work across both urban and rural areas?  Or perhaps you are based in a town or city but support organisations across a wider area?  If so, Access All Areas, the forthcoming NCVO guide to rural proofing for voluntary and community organisations is for you.

Access All Areas provides voluntary and community organisations with an introduction to rural proofing, explaining why it is important and providing ideas on how you could start rural proofing your work.  It has been developed with a Steering Group made up of voluntary sector representatives and draws on existing guides and voluntary sector good practice.

For more details or to obtain a hard copy please email the policy team.

The Citizens Advice Rural Proofing Checklist referred to in the further information section of the guide is available to download here.
