ACTIVITIES

The RASE’s Royal Charter, first granted in 1840, sets out 4 charitable objectives:

To promote and improve the science, technology, art and practice of agriculture, forestry, horticulture, kindred activities and the husbandry of livestock (including horses) and land.
To promote the application of improved methods and processes connected therewith by demonstration and other appropriate means.
To promote agricultural and environmental education, research and development and experimental work by maintaining and conducting a learned society and by publications, grants and other means.
To advance religion by the promotion of religious activities and values amongst rural communities in such ways as the Council may from time to time determine.

These objectives are as relevant today as they have always been and the RASE still works hard to achieve them through:

Agricultural and countryside shows and events.
Awards for farmers, and for students coming in to the industry.
Education and training programmes and resources.
Organising conferences, discussions and debates.
Publishing our quarterly magazine, Rural Matters, and annual Journal.
Working in partnership with other bodies to help the industry.
Presenting an independent view to those in positions of influence.
Setting up, supporting and contributing to the work of many rural support organisations.
The development of a national centre of rural excellence at Stoneleigh Park.
