RSN Membership Survey

The Rural Services Network exists for its members, so your views matter to us. We are embarking on work to develop and broaden our service offer. As such, we would be grateful if you could spare a few minutes to complete this online survey. Responses will be used to help shape what we provide in future.

Your response will be treated in confidence and will not be circulated outside the RSN. If you have any questions about the survey please e-mail Brian Wilson at brian.wilson@sparse.gov.uk
