Plunkett Foundation is a national charity that supports rural communities across the UK to tackle the issues they face through community business.
One of the main reasons many community businesses aren’t able to get up and running is lack of a suitable premises from which to operate. To help groups and churches explore the opportunities of locating within an active church or building they have partnered with All Churches Trust to offer:
Free bespoke advice to community business groups and churches exploring the potential of a church or its grounds as a potential venue for a community business
Grants to support early feasibility and development work of up to £5,000
