We believe that people are inately co-operative and that both society and business benefit from co-operation. Our work with policy makers, business leaders and the public is designed to stress the value of co-operation to the UK.
Co-operatives UK is the national trade body that campaigns for co-operation and works to promote, develop and unite co-operative enterprises.
We have a unique role as a trade association for co-operatives. We aim to bring together all those with a passion and interest in co-operative action.
We work to promote the co-operative alternative across many sectors of the economy from high street consumer-owned co-operatives to pubs and football clubs, healthcare to agriculture, credit unions to community owned shops.
Together the co-operative economy is worth some £35.6 billion and has 13.5 million members. Co-operatives are the largest membership movement in the country.
