What our clients are saying?

Lisa Reid, owner of Briarwood Coastal Cottages & Lodge, signed up for several workshops hosted by the Rural Action Centre in Alberton to learn new business skills. When asked if she would recommend visiting a RAC in your area, Lisa doesn’t hesitate to answer.

“Absolutely, great support and information, networking,” Lisa says. “They are a wealth of knowledge.”
