SUPPORTING COOPS

Cooperation is a natural human instinct.  Cooperation is a way of Being.  How can I help you with Being Coop?

 

I am a cooperative development expert.  I have a 25 year track record in the cooperative movement as a volunteer, worker, board member, and consultant.  I have a wide network of other coop experts that I can work with.  I have oodles of experience in many cooperative sectors including:

 

• Energy and environment coops
• Credit unions
• Housing coops
• Food and drink coops
• Worker coops
• Coops that rehabilitate people with convictions
• Regional cooperative councils.

 

 

12% of the world’s population are a member of a cooperative.  

 

• Are you looking for a new way of working beyond the stress and exploitation of capitalism?
• Is a coop right for you and your community?
• What do the cooperative values and principles mean to you?
• How will democracy work in your coop?
• What are the different types of coop and which structure should you go for?
• Can your coop pay a dividend to members?
• Is your cooperative business idea viable and sustainable?
• Has your coop become “stuck” and you need some help to revive it?

I am based in Birmingham and can support coops anywhere.
