The East Midlands Rural Affairs Forum (EMRAF) provides a forum for sharing information on issues and initiatives affecting rural areas. EMRAF's role is to champion rural interests in the region by identifying issues of concern, giving views on new regional proposals and consultations and promoting the development of regional initiatives with the aim to improve the quality of life in the region's rural areas.
Since its launch in 2002, EMRAF has developed into a network of over 68 organisations from the public, private and voluntary sector. The Forum has an independent Chair, who meets with the Minster for Rural Affairs several times a year. The operation of the Forum is overseen by the Operations Group and the role of the co-ordination of EMRAF activities and delivery is facilitated by the Regional Director of Rural Community Action East Midlands.
A Project and Policy Officer provides support to the Regional Director to help deliver the activities of EMRAF and its four subgroups: Quality Services Accessible to All, A Thriving Rural Economy, Sustainable & Inclusive Communities Incorporating Housing and A High Quality Environment. A Communications Officer provides effective communication tools for EMRAF and its members and provides secretarial support to the Operations Group, the Forum and various Task and Finish Groups. The full forum meet four times a year (one of the meetings being the EMRAF Annual Conference) to endorse and initiate actions.
