Defra and the Office for Civil Society have commissioned the Plunkett Foundation to review the economic, social and environmental impacts of rural social enterprise in England.
The research and development project will collect evidence on the contributions made by social enterprises to rural communities. It will be used to inform the understanding of Defra and other policy makers in related government departments and agencies.
Further information on the review can be found in the press notice on the Plunkett Foundation’s website.
Plunkett leads Defra’s Social Enterprise Strategic Partnership, and sits on Defra’s Civil Society Advisory Board.
