Founded by HM King Charles III in 2010 while he was The Prince of Wales, The Royal Countryside Fund is the only UK-wide charity that empowers family farms and rural communities to ensure their future is made secure. Over the last decade, The Royal Countryside Fund has invested more than £10.5 million to in over 530 projects working across the UK. We’ve supported nearly 1000 farming families to take charge of their business through The Farm Resilience Programme, and working with our Farm Support Group Initiative, helped countless others to access local support when it’s needed most.
The countryside, what it does, what it produces and what it offers impacts on us all. The Royal Countryside Fund wishes to see a thriving countryside – a living, breathing, working place, so that it is there for everyone.
