Our Walk for Plunkett challenge returns for 2022 and we're inviting you to join us once again as we walk some miles in support of communities all over the UK.

The challenge will be taking place over the 6th to 8th May 2022. Whether you can walk one mile, five miles or 35 miles, your efforts will be helping to ensure that more communities can access the advice, guidance and support that Plunkett provides to help them on their way to creating innovative, inclusive and impactful spaces and places through community ownership.

Community businesses are the beating heart of hundreds communities across the UK. They are enterprises that are brought to life by the community, for the benefit of the entire community.

Community businesses are born through a collective idea to save a local pub, shop or service that could otherwise be lost. They come in all shapes and sizes from woodlands, transport services and pubs, to community-owned shops, libraries, distilleries and farms.

They are hubs for social interaction; opportunities for local employment and training, a place to volunteer; to be a part of something that encompasses community spirit, that can adapt and respond to the changing world. A place that brings people together, where no-one is forgotten.

With more and more communities facing the closure of services and facilities, Plunkett's support is needed now more than ever. But with your help, together we can bring more community business ideas to life, helping to ensure no community and no individual gets left behind.

However many miles you choose to walk or however much you can raise, thank you. We're delighted to have you on the team.

Happy walking!!
