Welcome to our community survey

WERN is excited to be taking an in-depth look at the needs of all of the West of England’s rural communities across all unitary authority areas – B&NES, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

Our project will identify, map and report the particular needs of the West of England’s rural communities and this survey is our starting point. We want to understand who is working with our communities, what their needs are, how they get involved, who they network with, and what helps or hinders.

Thank you for participating. Your feedback is important and will help us to share your views with funders and agencies we work with and to ensure that the needs of rural communities are taken into account wherever they are. It will help ensure we - WERN - develop as an effective network for working together and meeting the needs of communities that need it most.
