RNI is a voluntary organisation and a registered charity, based in The Corner House Children’s Centre in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
We work to overcome the effects of rural isolation in Kennet by providing support to individuals and families particularly those with children under 5.

Our main point of contact with rural areas is through Toddler Groups.
   •  We visit around 25 such groups regularly, so that leaders, parents,
       carers and individuals have easy access to information and advice.
   •  Regular visits mean that we develop strong relationships with the
       groups, which means we really get to know what’s needed in that area.

We also work closely with other organisations helping to ease the difficulties of rural living, such as lack of transport, childcare issues, and poor access to services. So whatever the problem, we can find the solution.

RNI offers;
   •   information based on detailed local knowledge
   •   local careers information and advice
   •   learning opportunities at a local level
   •   and above all, a local listening ear.

We DON’T inhabit some ivory tower somewhere.
We  DO work with, and within, communities.
Everything we do is driven by what local people want.
We’re always keen to find out what people want, so please tell us your ideas.
