Cooperatives
What is a Co-op?
Cooperatives are people-centred enterprises jointly owned and democratically controlled by and for their members to realise their common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations.
As enterprises based on values and principles, they put fairness and equality first allowing people to create sustainable enterprises that generate long-term jobs and prosperity.
A cooperative can be managed by producers, users or workers, cooperatives are run according to the ‘one member, one vote’ rule.
As a member-owner, you become a vital part of building a space where healthy food is accessible, local businesses are supported, and neighbors work together to create meaningful change. Your voice, your support, and your presence are what will transform this seed of an idea into a thriving, community-powered reality.
