Projects and Services

The Plunkett Foundation has developed a range of projects and services which supports the development of rural co-operative and social enterprises.

The Plunkett Foundation has delivered projects such as Enterprise4Inclusion and Strengthening Rural Communities across the North West which provided seed corn finance and advisory support to facilitate the effective start up and development of rural co-operatives and social enterprises.

We work with partners in the East of England to deliver large scale capital grants to social enterprises through the Building Communities Fund to enable them to purchase assets and transform their communities.

We provide funding and support for rural communities looking to set up and run a community-owned shop.

We work with a range of organisations to deliver capacity building to a broad range of initiatives which reconnect land and people through local food community enterprises through Making Local Food Work.

These are just a few examples.  For further information on the projects we are involved with, please visit the pages on the left.
