"Think Rural', the Rural Charter for England 's East Midlands is the first of its kind in this country. Its purpose is to engage organisations and companies to make a positive difference to the rural areas of the region. Those that adopt the Charter demonstrate their commitment to achieving rural prosperity and providing a fair deal for the region's rural areas for the benefit of all.

The Rural Charter is sponsored, monitored and administered by the East Midlands Rural Affairs Forum (EMRAF) through the EMRAF Charter Committee. EMRAF's Rural Affairs Co-ordinator is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Charter and is the first point of contact about the Rural Charter.
