Organisational Development
Rose Regeneration works with organisations to help them understand the opportunities and challenges they face and the options they have.
Examples of recent projects include:
Local Level Rural Proofing
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
(Defra)
Rose Regeneration, Brian Wilson Associates and Rural
Innovation developed a set of resources to ensure that service delivery and
design reflects the needs and interests of rural people, communities and
businesses. The
resources include: (1) A headline statement explain what rural proofing is
and the benefits that it offers; (2) An insight paper containing examples of
local level rural proofing in practice; and (3) A briefing note in slide pack
form providing easy access to the findings of the work.
The development of a Penwith Landscape
Partnership
Cornwall Wildlife
Trust (CWT)
Rose Regeneration undertook a community consultation project in Penwith (West
Cornwall) to explore residents understandings of the key features of the
landscape; consider the drivers for change and opportunities and challenges
facing the landscape; and identify the level of support to establish a formal
landscape partnership group. The findings of the consultation were used to
produce a 20-year Vision for the Penwith Landscape, a resource setting out what
a Landscape Partnership Group could do, and a document to help communities and
organisations to think about their engagement with the landscape going
forward..
