Welcome - Action in rural Sussex
Action in rural Sussex was established in 1931 as Sussex Rural Community Council and has worked with rural communities since then. Our vision for Sussex is that it is a place where an inclusive, active, community life is valued equally alongside economic success and environmental protection, and where all three are pursued together.
