A Gala Dinner to create change in rural communities
Join Plunkett UK at their Gala Dinner fundraiser on Tuesday 25th November 2025 at RSA House in London.
Join us from 6.45pm for a delicious three-course meal, inspiring conversations and networking opportunities, silent and live auction – hosted by world-renowned auctioneer and TV presenter, Charlie Ross – raffle draw and the chance to make a difference.
Plunkett is the only organisation dedicated to supporting people in rural areas throughout the UK to set up and run a wide range of businesses such as village pubs and shops that are in community ownership. We do this to achieve our UK-wide vision for resilient, thriving and inclusive rural communities.
As demonstrated in our recently launched Impact Report – which we’re delighted to share with you here: https://plunkett.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Plunkett-Impact-Report-2025.pdf – we are extremely proud to represent over 820 community-owned businesses across the UK. Each year, we provide ongoing support and advice to roughly 300 community groups via our accessible helpline, as well as giving specialist business support to more than 170 groups that are either setting up or running community businesses.
However, as more and more communities face the loss of yet another local service, the demand for Plunkett’s services continues to grow.
Fundraising activities like our Gala Dinner play an integral part in raising the funds needed to sustain our community business service and ensure the community businesses we represent support those people who are most disadvantaged in rural areas.
We would be delighted if you and your guests could join us at RSA House in November to celebrate the incredible community business sector.
Individual tickets are available at £280* per person, but why not buy a table of ten for you and your guests to celebrate your shared commitment to rural communities? Tables of ten can be bought at a discounted rate of £2,500*.
You can reserve your table or seat by clicking here.
Please RSVP as soon as you can and no later than Friday 7th November. If you have any questions at all, please contact us at events@plunkett.co.uk.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to RSA House on 25th November for what we’re sure will be an unforgettable and inspiring evening.
