Our business plan sets out the vision, strategy, and financial foundations for bringing The Dolphin Inn into community ownership and making it a thriving, inclusive space for Kenton.

​

It outlines how we plan to fund, operate, and grow The Dolphin as a sustainable community pub—balancing heritage, hospitality, and social value. The plan includes everything from our governance structure and staffing approach to projected income streams, overheads, and risks.

​

This is a live document—as the project evolves, the business plan will be reviewed and updated to reflect the latest decisions, funding position, and community needs. The most recent version available on this page always supersedes earlier drafts.

​

We believe in transparency and accountability, so we welcome the community to read and understand the plan that’s guiding The Dolphin’s next chapter.
