Co-operation among Co-operators: The Irish- British Connection - Conference
Co-operative Alternatives
The year 2025 has been declared the International Year of Co-operatives, with the theme "Co-operatives Build a Better World." This is a unique chance for us to share co-operative knowledge and insights from Ireland and Britain and highlight the important role our movement plays.
We've got some amazing speakers lined up, including:
- Connor Murphy, the Minister for the Economy
- Cliff Mills from Anthony Collins Solicitors, an expert in co-operative law
- Linda Ervine MBE, founder of Turas, an Irish Language project in East Belfast
Plus, many other contributors from across the island will discuss why co-operatives are still so important for society, the economy, and the environment. The event will include co-operators from housing co-ops, farming and food co-ops, educational co-ops, worker co-ops, credit unions etc.

Making NI a Living Wage Region
Advice NIConferenceTraining/AdviceNorthern Ireland has the highest proportion of jobs paid below the real Living Wage in the UK, with some council areas seeing rates as high as one in four. Women are disproportionately affected, with 24.5% earning below the Real Living Wage compared to 16.3% of men. Part-time workers face an even greater disparity - at 38%, they are nearly three times more likely to be paid below the Real Living Wage than full-time workers, where only 13.5% fall below this threshold.- - -
