ruralnet|uk is a rural regeneration charity which promotes a living and working countryside and finds new and effective ways to help rural communities improve and strengthen their local economies. It supports agencies working on the ground to alleviate disadvantage, to enable social inclusion and social enterprise. It works through promoting and enabling collaboration, research, consultancy and knowledge and information transfer. With local partners, it supports projects which put ideas into practice at the local level. It has specialist skills in Information, Communications and Collaboration Technologies (ICCTs) and wide experience covering their potential and their appropriate use for rural areas.

It uses ICCTs to make connections between people, to ensure that information reaches those that need it, that networks are developed and supported, and that project partnerships achieve their full potential.
