Essex Rural Fund – Mersea Walk – 12th March 2011

Encouraged, supported and accompanied by the High Sheriff, Michael Hindmarch, and the Chairman of Essex County Council, Rodney Bass, RCCE’s small team of walkers are planning a circuit of Mersea Island, and would be delighted if you were able to join them for all or part of the walk.

By doing this they are aiming to raise money for the Rural Fund, to raise awareness of it, and to recruit supporters for it.  There are many ways that supporters can help, including regular (or occasional) financial support, by helping them to spread the word to possible donors, or by organising awareness-raising events of their own.

Rural Community Council of Essex (RCCE) is a charity that has been working with rural communities in Essex since 1929 and aims to create a better future for Essex villages.  The Rural Fund was established with the Foundation by RCCE in 2008 to provide funding support specifically to community groups and charities working in rural areas of the county.
