Tadcaster and Rural was established in 2013 as a new not-for-profit social enterprise for the town and surrounding villages in order to drive forward projects and initiatives – project ideas that come from the community and can be then delivered in and by the community. We have a Board of Directors and employ an Executive Officer and a team of youthworkers, all based at our community hub building, The Barn.
