A major €3.97m investment in rural renewal has been unveiled with the launch of the Rural Innovation and Social Enterprise (RiSE) Project, a transformative initiative designed to put social enterprise at the centre of sustainable rural development.

Rural Action is delighted to introduce this new cross‑community and cross‑border initiative, which will support rural areas to harness the potential of social enterprise as a driver of sustainability, innovation, and long‑term growth.

RiSE is a project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. Through the ‘Unlocking the Potential of Rural Innovation and Social Enterprise (RiSE) Project’, partners aim to strengthen rural communities by providing training, networking opportunities, and practical support to help organisations enhance sustainability, expand income generation, and increase access to vital community services.

The project brings together a multi stakeholder partnership comprising of Rural Action who will lead the project along with partners, Irish Rural Link, Scotland Social Enterprise Academy and Social Enterprise NI (SENI) with Community Finance Ireland as an associate partner. More information on the project will be available at www.ruralaction.co
