Co-op Fortnight Begins #JoinaCoop

Join a Co-op as a Member

Led by Co-op’s UK, every year hundreds of co-ops and organisations across the UK work together to promote co‑ops during the annual celebration and this year it is all about joining a co-op as a member. Have a watch of the video from Co-op’s UK which is themed on creating a brighter future built on co-operation. #JoinaCoop

Co-operating together

In a year where many organisations and businesses have had to adjust due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us have come together to show resilience. However, Co-op’s have been doing this since the very beginning by putting our members, communities and customers first by co-operating together. We are built on our values and champion these wherever we can.

During Co-op Fortnight, we will be showcasing all the great examples of co-operation on Colleagues Connect each day. Whether that’s the future of Co-ops, listening to our members or principles on which we abide by, you can learn something incredible about the co-operative movement during the two weeks.
