The Plunkett Foundation's Unlocking Community Business report

The Plunkett Foundation's "Unlocking Community Business" report highlights how local communities can thrive by owning and managing their own businesses, such as shops, pubs, and community assets. It emphasizes the benefits of local ownership—including economic resilience, social connection, and community control—showing that when communities take charge of their businesses, they can better meet local needs and create sustainable, vibrant places to live. The report also shares practical insights and examples to encourage other communities to explore similar ways of supporting local growth and wellbeing.
