Membership allows community enterprises to collaborate in the market place and reduce running costs. It provides the platform to achieve strategic input into the services that Plunkett provides for community enterprises. And it enables greater access to information and advice. On joining the scheme, enterprises will be given a benefits package that will provide exclusive access to a wide range of goods and services at preferential terms and rates, enabling participating enterprises to save valuable time and money. To date, members have generated an average saving of £550 in the first year of membership alone. The current package of tailored goods and services includes exclusive deals for: Electricity Accountancy Insurance (not yet available for co-operative pubs) EPoS Card Processing Services Phone and Internet Provision Fixtures and Fittings Advisory Support Membership of the Plunkett Foundation The benefits package will continue to develop to meet the needs of community enterprises, and we will continue to work with communities to identify those needs. For more details, download the membership information pack and application form here or using the link below. How much does it cost to join? Fees have been set at £240 per year or £20 per month. The scheme will also generate residual income from the suppliers of energy, card services, insurance, and telecoms. The combined income will be ring fenced to cover administration costs incurred by the Plunkett Foundation in managing the Plunkett Community Enterprise Network, and will also go towards protecting our core advice service to inspire and support new community-owned enterprise groups. This will be monitored and the results published by the Advisory Group and made available to members.
