John Higgs FundThe John Higgs Fund contributed towards an Oxfordshire Rural Community Council (ORCC) Seminar entitled Volunteering in Rural Oxon. The report on this seminar was widely distributed in the Oxfordshire region. The seminar has led the ORCC to do further work on volunteering and to the introduction of an award for an outstanding volunteer. Also during 1997 the Fund helped to finance ACREs article in the Parliamentary Review: Capturing the Political High Ground.Two further awards have been made during the early part of 1998 and these were: to East Anglia University for their research project, Study on the Future Landscapes in the West Oxfordshire Region, and to the Rural Stress Information Network (RSIN), based at Stoneleigh, to help them set up a data base.
