About Peak Pathfinder

“To enhance access to services that support business and community enterprise in rural areas.” - The vision for the Pathfinder.

The Pathfinder area is the Peak District Rural Action Zone (RAZ) which comprises the districts of Derbyshire Dales and High Peak (East Midlands), significant parts of Staffordshire Moorlands and the Weaver ward of East Staffordshire (West Midlands).

For many years partners have worked closely to deliver “across boundary” regeneration projects and welcome the opportunity to tackle key issues together as part of the Pathfinder Programme.

Our plans, community strategies and quantitative analysis direct us to looking at how we can work together to help people in businesses and communities achieve regeneration. The unique characteristics of the area - rural, near to urban areas, high environmental values, good partnership working across boundaries - are strong assets, but our communities face many challenges.

Already the Pathfinder partners and other agencies offer grant schemes, technical advice and other support to community, environmental and economic regeneration. The public, voluntary & community sector and private sectors already work well together and have also shown we can secure regeneration. We must strive to make support services much more accessible, streamlined and efficient.
