The Somerset Rural Renaissance Scheme is overseen by a partnership of agencies and is administered by Somerset County Council as the accountable body.

Somerset County Council’s Rural Delivery Team has provided the staff to assist a range of public, private, and voluntary sector agencies both to develop and deliver suitable projects and to manage the investments provided to local projects and initiatives.
