New SRA website

Scottish Rural Action, the non-profit body which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament, has a new website which includes an online forum for communities to connect and share views and ideas.

Scottish Rural Action and the Scottish Rural Parliament have been given separate online identities to avoid confusion over their respective roles.

The Scottish Rural Parliament takes place every two years and started in 2014. The national high-profile event brings representatives of rural communities from across Scotland together with decision-makers. The event aims to raise the profile of rural needs and strengths, as well as identifying solutions to the challenges our communities face.

Scottish Rural Action is the legal entity which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament. SRA takes forward priorities voted on at the Rural Parliament and advocates on behalf of rural communities on a wide range of issues. We are the ‘go to’ organisation on rural issues in Scotland.
