Discover cooperatives: pubs, local retail, energy projects and small-scale farming

Do you know what a community enterprise is, or are you thinking of creating one?

Cooperatives are democratic businesses that allow local communities to take control or save community assets for the needs of local people.

They enable people to pool resources to trade goods and services that benefit the community. Join this webinar to hear from cooperatives that provide solutions, spaces and services that benefit communities.

Learn about inspiring cooperatives and the people behind them. Find out how you can form your cooperative and become part of a global movement that puts people and planet first.

You will leave with:

• A better understanding of what a cooperative is.
• Insight from people behind some of the most inspiring cooperatives in the UK.
• Clear guidance on the support available if you’d like to form your own.
