Working in the Regions and Devolved Nations
There are now co‑operative networks throughout the UK. They are independent bodies and so vary in their structure and activities, but they have four core aims in common:
- Promoting the co‑operative movement and co‑operative principles
- Representing the co‑operative movement
- Networking amongst co‑operatives of all kinds
- Supporting the development of new and existing co‑operatives
They also vary in their stage of development and their level of resources. All of them, however, would be pleased to hear from you if you want to know more about the co‑operative movement in their region or nation.
