A study from Co-operatives UK finds that Gen Z want meaningful work with a good-work life balance, as well as employers that are making a positive impact, making co-ops a good fit for the new workforce. #coops

Please help me to welcome The Media Coop to BS. A multi award winning, 20 year old worker coop thats delivered some amazing projects for their broad client base. Genuinely nice ppl who care. #coops
Hello everyone! We're media co-op, a female-led workers' co-op and social enterprise with 20 years experience making films and animations for the third sector 🎥

We'd love to start following other Scottish charities / creatives / co-operators: anyone got any starter packs they could share?

Housing and energy are the two growth sectors in the movement since 2020. Housing will always be important, but for me, hasn't always seen the focus that it deserves. Thankfully CCH work tirelessly to raise the profile. #coops

Admittedly I'm a member of the Fox and Goose, so I would say that they deserve a follow. Cooperation should be meaningful and genuine, regardless of the sector said coop operates in.
And with one bound, they were free!

#coops A movement built by the ppl for the ppl.
🗓 December 21st marks 180 years since the Rochdale Pioneers launched the modern cooperative movement. They opened a small store to provide affordable, quality food, and the idea rapidly spread throughout England and the world. Co-ops granted women a vote for the first time in their lives. 💁‍♂️🙋‍♀️

The war in Ukraine is vile. War is vile.
2024 is ending.
We are currently in the most complicated and challenging point since the start of the full-scale war.

Deadlock, war of attrition, strategic uncertainty - there are many terms to describe today's situation.

The Trouble with Double - Workshop 1: More, bigger or better?

We’d need to set up just over 11,500 new #coops by the end of this Parliament to double the sector. What are the chances?

And, while we’re focusing on creating lots of new start-ups what's happening to the existing 9,350?
