To celebrate their 70th anniversary Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity are holding a Platinum Ball on Friday, November 3, 2023.
Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (Beds RCC) is the leading community development agency working across Bedfordshire, with a proven track record built over the past 70 years.
Beds RCC was originally set up in 1953 as part of the Rural Community Councils set up across the United Kingdom.
During the first three years, they became associated with many social aspects of rural life – such as playgrounds and playing fields; clubs and services for the elderly; village halls and Parish Councils – which promoted improvements to their local communities.
Many of this work still continues today, alongside new projects and services which have evolved over the years.
Over the past 70 years, both past and current staff and volunteers here have been an integral part of improving the lives of those living in Bedfordshire. Beds RCC’s projects and services benefit local communities in areas such as rural development, wellbeing, and community transport.
The charity also owns two non-profit businesses: Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre and Tea Room and Warden Abbey Community Vineyard.
The Platinum Ball is Beds RCC’s main celebratory event of the year and will be held at The Bedford Swan Hotel, overlooking the River Great Ouse.
