The Royal Countryside Fund was established as a response to concerns expressed by His Majesty King Charles III (our Royal Founding Patron) when he was The Prince of Wales, and by Business in the Community’s Rural Action
Leadership Team regarding the future of farming and rural communities in the UK. Given these origins, the RCF operates in accordance with the vision of our Royal Founding Patron, which is to help improve the sustainability of
British farming and the rural communities in the UK.
