Bedfordshire Rural Affairs Forum
Bedfordshire Rural Affairs Forum (BRAF) is an informal and independent organisation. It was established in 2002 by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity to provide a coordinated voice for rural Bedfordshire and to champion rural interests in the county. BRAF not only provides a platform for stakeholders in the county to feed views to those responsible locally for policy and services in Bedfordshire, but also to Government via the East of England Rural Forum. It can also act as a focus for attracting funding into the county.With over 30 organisations and businesses in its membership, the forum is a focus for a wide range of experience and knowledge which equips it well for lobbying for rural Bedfordshire at county, regional and national level. As it represents a wide range of groups, BRAF has a unique strategic influencing role. It works to make sure that the rural angle is taken into account and that the communities, economy and environment of rural Bedfordshire do not lose out.
