Welcome to SWAN, the network of rural community councils in the south west.
Our vision is a vibrant, inclusive, diverse region, and our mission is to be an effective focus for knowledge and expertise on rural issues. Our aims are to influence rural policy at local, regional and national level; to contribute to the voluntary and community sector at regional level, and to provide support services to rural community councils.
