Mission, Values, Vision

Our Vision:

In a world in which rural communities are seeing challenges to services, jobs and community vitality, the Plunkett Foundation builds on a tradition which will help rural communities to tackle the problems they face.

Through its commitment to co-operatives and social enterprises, the Foundation provides support, networks and knowledge which offers practical solutions for rural communities that helps to create thriving places where people live and work now and in the future.

Our Values:

The Plunkett Foundation finds the most effective ways for each generation to put into practice the values created by its founder, Sir Horace Plunkett.  These are:

• We seek economic solutions to create social change
• We seek solutions that enrich rural community life
• We see self-help as the most effective way to tackle rural needs
