The Plunkett Foundation’s Rural Community Rights Toolkit

The Plunkett Foundation’s Rural Community Rights Toolkit is a practical guide that helps communities in rural areas understand and access legal rights to set up and run community-owned businesses, like local shops, pubs, or renewable energy projects. It provides clear information on legal structures, funding options, and processes to empower residents to take control of vital local assets, fostering economic resilience and community well-being. The toolkit aims to make complex legal concepts accessible, enabling communities to build sustainable, locally-led initiatives that reflect their needs and priorities.
