Read more Party news The next General Election can be a landmark moment for growing employee ownership across our economy 15th May 2024 The Employee Ownership Association (EOA), the trade body for the UK’s employee owned sector, has launched their new policy proposals for the upcoming 2024 General Election. Unlocking the Potential of Employee Ownership: The Why and How for People Powered Growth provides ambitious plans for how the next Government can continue to support the sector and 262,400 reasons to enshrine the Right to Food in Scots Law 15th May 2024 The Trussell Trust have released the figures for the help they have given in the past year. Leading the way on diversity in Local Government 2nd May 2024 The Co-op Party has the highest representation of women standing in May 2024 elections of any major party – but there’s more to do to ensure our councils are representative of the communities they serve. From Plymouth to Preston, a new approach can save our struggling high streets. 18th April 2024 Without a change of approach, our high streets will continue to decline. This is an unacceptable situation which will damage our social fabric. The Co-operative Party believe community ownership and community-led regeneration can provide solutions to the challenges high streets face. Key campaigns End the Leasehold Scandal The Government have u-turned on their promise to abolish the feudal system of leasehold, leaving millions in limbo. Join our campaign to end the leasehold scandal, back commonhold and ensure everyone has a say over the place they call home. Join the campaign Growing the co-operative sector We want to build a fairer, greener, more democratic economy by growing the number of co-ops in every sector. But this won't happen by accident – we need to keep making the case for co-ops and their role in our economy. Add your name to our campaign to double the size of the co-operative sector. Join the campaign Supporting Healthy Start The NHS Healthy Start scheme provides fruit, veg and infant formula for the babies and children who need it most. But with food and formula prices rising, an £8.50 voucher now doesn't even cover the cost of a single tin of most formulas. Sign our petition calling on the Government to increase the value of Healthy Start vouchers so that no child goes hungry.
