Who we are

Rural Community Councils

Oxfordshire Rural Community Council (ORCC) is one of 38 rural community councils (RCCs) in England.  Each is an independent, county-based organisation.

The basic aim of every RCC is to promote thriving, sustainable rural communities and to alleviate the disadvantage experienced by many people who live in them.

All RCCs are linked together through their national organisation ACRE.  The eight RCCs in the South East - including ORCC - are members of the network of South East Rural Community Councils (SERCC).
