Patient Participation Group (PPG)
The RCC help to improve wellbeing, increase resilience, and tackle disadvantage in rural communities across Leicestershire & Rutland.

We are using our experience to take simple but effective action to CARE for people and organisations facing issues such as loneliness, isolation, poor mental wellbeing, suicide, unemployment, deprivation and the decline of valuable rural facilities and services.
