The Arthur Rank Centre is the Church's ecumenical rural resource and networking centre in England For 50 years the Arthur Rank Centre has served both the spiritual and practical needs of the rural Christian community through a programme of community and social projects, resourcing and training. The Centre is not just a building but an enduring symbol of faith in the countryside. Its mission: to resource rural churches of all denominations, to develop greater understanding between rural and urban communities and between different faith groups; and to reach out to those in hardship or distress has never been more relevant. The need for our help is greater than ever: over 20,000 people access our services each year.
