The Royal Countryside Fund

Founded by HM King Charles III in 2010 while he was The Prince of Wales, The Royal Countryside Fund is the only UK-wide charity that empowers family farms and rural communities to ensure their future is made secure. Through its farming programmes and rural community grants, The Royal Countryside Fund aims to improve service provision in rural areas, support farming businesses, rural enterprises, and provide training opportunities for young people. Over the last decade, The Royal Countryside Fund has invested more than £10.5 million to in over 530 projects working across the UK. We’ve supported nearly 1000 farming families to take charge of their business through The Farm Resilience Programme, and working with our Farm Support Group Initiative, helped countless others to access local support when it’s needed most.
