LANCASHIRE RURAL FUTURES CLOSED ON THE 31 MARCH 2008

However the Clitheroe Office remains open until 30 June 2008 to ensure the project delivery is completed.

All enquiries should be directed to the Clitheroe office.

Set up in 1999, Lancashire Rural Futures (formerly the Bowland Initiative) exists to deliver sustainable economic and environmental benefits to rural Lancashire.

At the outset, the work of the Bowland Initiative was confined to the Forest of Bowland area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) but due to the great demand the project expanded its boundaries to include the whole of East Lancashire.

Now due to our increasing success and funding support from the Lancahire Rural Recovery Action Plan, Lancashire Rural Futures has rolled out into the whole of Lancashire and parts of Greater Manchester to deliver the Rural Business Facilitation Service. As a result of our expansion and also to keep up with the increasing demand new offices have been opened in Bacup and Leyland. These offices will operate in the same way as the Clitheroe office consisting of both business and environmental advisors.
