Plunkett UK is a national charity supporting people in rural areas to set up and run successful businesses in community ownership. They do this to achieve the charity's UK-wide vision for resilient, thriving and inclusive rural communities.
Community-owned businesses are owned and controlled by community members, who each have an equal and democratic say in how the business is run. They can be any type of business ranging from village shops, pubs and cafes, through to woodlands, fisheries and farms.
Plunkett UK has promoted the community ownership model for over 100 years because of its track record for delivering better businesses for people, communities, the economy, and the environment.
