The Plunkett Foundation helps rural communities in the UK to take control of the issues affecting them through community ownership.〔(The Plunkett Foundation website )〕 ==The Plunkett Foundation's work== The Foundation's work includes: * Supporting the growing network of community-owned shops across the UK〔Plunkett Community Shops Network - http://www.communityshops.coop〕 * Promoting and supporting wider forms of community-owned enterprises and co-operatives in rural communities * Promoting and supporting community food and farming enterprises〔See for example http://www.makinglocalfoodwork.co.uk〕 * Advocacy and awareness raising with the purpose of increasing awareness of the potential of community-ownership in rural areas and making it easier for rural communities to take action The Plunkett Foundation was founded in 1919 by the pioneer of rural co-operation in Ireland, Sir Horace Plunkett. Since being founded it has been involved in a range of work relating to international development, rural development and agricultural development. It is based in Oxfordshire, England. To celebrate 2012 being designated as the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives the Plunkett Foundation held the World of Rural Co-operation International Roundtable event.〔World of Rural Co-operation - http://www.rural2012.coop〕 This event led to the development of the Dunsany Declaration for Rural Co-operative Development〔Dunsany Declaration for Rural Co-operative Development - http://www.plunkett.co.uk/templates/asset-relay.cfm?frmAssetFileID=1507〕 which has fed in to the Blueprint for a Co-operative Decade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plunkett Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
