Plunkett Foundation helps support communities across the UK to take control of their challenges and overcome them through co-operation. We support people, predominantly in rural areas, to set up and run life-changing community businesses; enterprises that are owned and run democratically by large numbers of people in their community. They help people to tackle a range of issues such as isolation, loneliness and poverty, and come in many forms including shops, cafes, pubs and land-based initiatives, and anything in between.
