The government has made a historic commitment to expanding community-owned energy, giving communities a tangible stake in our clean energy future.
As this agenda comes under increasing political pressure, now is the time to continue to make the case for a strong community-led consensus on net zero.
Read our joint report LCEF, with contributions from a range of experts in the field, making the case that building consensus for our net zero agenda must start at a local level.
The story of Britain doesn't need to be one of division, disillusionment, and decline. Meet the communities who are writing themselves a different future in our latest report, Stories from Community Britain.
We are the party of the co-operative movement, committed to building a society where power and wealth are shared.
Democratic public ownership of the services and utilities we all rely on. Tackling the housing crisis through co-operative housing. Fans having a say in their sports club. Credit unions as an alternative to rip-off payday lenders. Shops owned by their customers that give back to the community.
Working in partnership with Labour, the Co-operative Party is a voice for co-operative values and principles from local communities up to the places where decisions are taken and laws are made.

Our vision is of a society and economy in which people's voices are heard; institutions and services are accountable to their users and staff, and ownership and wealth are shared.
We believe that co-operatives values are key to making that ambition a reality. We’re working in partnership with Labour to spark a radical shift in the size of the co-operative sector, and to bring key sectors like transport and utilities into democratic public ownership.
Co-operative elected representatives in Westminster, Holyrood, Cardiff Bay and in local government across the UK are working to put these ideas into practice – and our reach, membership and impact are growing.
