Co‑operative Case Studies

Case Studies, Co‑operative Information

These case studies tell the stories of diverse co‑operative enterprises across the country, from an urban worker co‑operative producing animated DVDs, to a community co‑operative in rural Yorkshire producing bio-diesel from recycled vegetable oil.

They show how different co‑operatives got started, the ins-and-outs of how they work, and why co‑operation has been to the advantage of members and the wider community.

Whether you're thinking about starting a co‑operative, a member of a co‑operative looking for fresh ideas, or just interested, these case studies provide real life inspiration about what can be acheived through co‑operation.
