Welcome to GetRural.co.uk, the official website of the Staffordshire Rural Forum.

In the autumn of 2001, a number of local partners involved in the regeneration of Staffordshire`s rural economy came together to form the `Staffordshire Rural Economic Forum`. The Forum emerged out of the former Economic Forum and the Foot and Mouth Task Force.

The Forum is chaired by Dr Ralph Alcock, Principal and CEO of Rodbaston College, and is facilitated by Staffordshire County Council. It includes members representing local authorities, business support and training agencies, regional agencies such as AWM and Natural England, Heart of England Fine Foods, DEFRA, the NFU, the LSC, Business Link Staffordshire, the CLA, the Community Council of Staffordshire and the private sector representing the tourism and leisure sectors. In April 2004 the name of the Forum changed to the Staffordshire Rural Forum, to reflect the wide range of work that it is involved in.
