ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) has produced a series of Topic Sheets on local issues that communities may wish to explore when undertaking a community led plan. These have been produced with other key stakeholder organisations with expertise in the topic.
Each sheet shows how you can find out if there is community need and support for local projects, and how you can evidence this in your Parish Plan.
