Rose Regeneration will be speaking at a free national event to help rural communities save vital services and reverse the trend of rural decline. The Big Lottery Fund's Village SOS Conference will give communities the support they need to rejuvenate their villages by setting up community enterprises - from shops and pubs to local food and transport projects. The event includes specialist workshops on topics like business planning and accessing finance. Rose Regeneration will be participating in a session looking at what rural communities need from future government policy. The session is being led by Peter Ainsworth (Chair, Big Lottery Find) and will also include contributions from Stuart Burgess (Chair, Commission for Rural Communities) and Professor Nigel Curry (Countryside & Community Research Institute).                                 

The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) covers the administrative areas of Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire and was one of the first Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) to be given approval in October 2010. The GLLEP has developed strong links between business, academia and the public sector. However, the economy is heavily reliant on the service sector, with the public sector accounting for over a quarter of the local workforce.  Public sector funding reductions present considerable challenges for the local economy. At the same time, there are opportunities to grow the private sector and social enterprise. Rose Regeneration and CM International are working with the GLLEP and Lincolnshire County Council to look at innovation in Greater Lincolnshire's economy.
