ABOUT THE TRUST
The Rural Communities Trust was established to provide financial assistance to groups, families and individuals in rural areas who due to their location may otherwise be disadvantaged. Much of New Zealand’s economic strength comes from the land and the success of this industry depends heavily on those people who live and work in the rural areas. However, the urban drift and other factors can rob many rural residents of the sorts of amenities and facilities urban dwellers take for granted.
