What we do

The Rural Regeneration Zone’s approach is to work in partnership with a range of organisations and sectors from across the sub-region, to deliver sustainable economic regeneration. The partnership includes organisations from the private, public and voluntary sectors.

We also operate in the context of other strategies and plans, from national and regional to district and local level. We will continue to use our investment strategically and to add value to existing plans by being the catalyst for change in the sub-region. We will work with determination to bring about positive change in the Zone and lever in additional investment and commitment from partners.
