Could a co-operative be right for you? Co-operatives are a great way of a local community coming together and creating their own solution to a shared problem. We have a full range of services to support co-ops and community benefit societies: southwest.coop

As a co-operative, we think that people having a say is important. If you have time, please have a look at Somerset Council's 2024/2025 Budget Consultation and have your say: somersetcouncil.citizenspace.com/comms/budget-c…


We will be running a workshop in Exeter on the 19th of March, book now or share with anyone you think might be interested in starting a co-op!

Co-ops UK have published their Co-operative and Mutual Economy 2023 report. It is great to see that Scotland and Wales have fast growing Co-op sectors but we would like to see that growth in England too, does anyone have an idea for a co-op that we could support you with?
