Supporting Rural Communities with Design Excellence

The Royal Countryside Fund (RCF), one of His Majesty The King’s national charities, plays a vital role in championing and supporting the UK’s rural communities. With a mission rooted in resilience, sustainability, and opportunity, the charity provides practical support to farming families, funds community projects, and helps secure a brighter future for the countryside. Our role has been to support the RCF in bringing this mission to life visually, creating design solutions that reflect the premium quality and prestige of the organisation while remaining approachable and community-focused.

Dylan is our Mid-Weight Designer at Ford Creative, bringing over three years of experience in brand identity, print, and web design. He’s learned that the secret to great design lies somewhere between craft, collaboration, and caffeine. When he’s not designing, you’ll find him exploring new food spots, watching F1, or pretending he’s a badminton pro.

Over the years, we have collaborated closely with the RCF to produce a wide range of marketing materials across both print and digital platforms. From promotional collateral to event branding, our work has consistently aimed to enhance recognition of the Fund’s vital role and communicate its values with clarity and impact. One of our most significant contributions has been the design of the annual RCF Journal. This publication not only reports on the charity’s work but also acts as a showcase for the people and communities it serves. Through premium layouts, carefully considered typography, and engaging imagery, the Journal elevates the RCF’s storytelling while strengthening its reputation as a trusted, national charity.By pairing thoughtful design with the prestige of The Royal Countryside Fund, we have helped ensure the brand feels consistent, premium, and purposeful across every touchpoint. Whether through annual reports, campaign materials, or digital assets, our work reinforces the charity’s core message: that thriving rural communities are essential to the future of the UK.
