Rural Action Derbyshire’s Annual General Meeting this November will provide an opportunity not only to reflect on the charity’s work over the past year, but also to look ahead through the launch of a significant new Rural Research Project.
The project, covering the Peak District, Bolsover and South Derbyshire, will help build a clearer understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing rural communities across these areas. Findings from the research will support future action, helping to ensure that rural voices are heard and that decision-makers have access to robust local evidence.
The project will be formally launched by Professor Carley Foster of the University of Derby, who will outline the aims of the research and its importance in shaping the future of Derbyshire’s rural communities.
The AGM will also include an update from Chief Executive Emma Simpson, along with the charity’s formal annual business.
The event takes place on Wednesday 18 November 2026 at Town Hall, Matlock, with registration and refreshments from 1.15pm and the meeting beginning at 1.30pm.
If you would like to attend, you can book your free place via Eventbrite: Rural Action Derbyshire Annual General Meeting 2026.
