A co-operative is a business or organisation that is owned by its members, rather than private shareholders. Those members might be employees, customers, or people from the local community.

There are already thousands of co-operatives up and down the UK. Workers owning their workplaces. Customers owning their local shop. Parents owning the nursery their children attend. Fans owning their beloved football club. Communities owning local renewable energy projects. Co-ops give people a say and a stake: every member has an equal vote, and profits are shared between members.

We think co-ops are a fairer way of doing business. If you agree, add your name now and join our campaign to double the number of co-operatives in the UK.
