The village CORE programme is run by the Plunkett Foundation and provides support and funding for communities looking to set up and run a shop in a rural area. The programme can provide up to a £40,000 funding package, comprised of a £20,000 grant and a £20,000 loan, matched by equivalent community contributions. The programme has already supported over 50 shops and has recently been renewed for a further three years. Although the Plunkett foundation is based in England, the programme is open to Scottish rural communities and you can find further information on their website.
