Today I spent the morning visiting some new co-operatives in Greater Manchester, it was fantastic to see how these enterprises are thriving even during hard times.
As Chair of the Co-operative Party I was keen to get out and visit co-ops within our movement to see how they were getting by and to highlight the great work of enterprise within our collective movement.
We need more co-ops to help build a fairer economic and social settlement for everyone.
Many thanks to the Chorlton Bike Delivery Co-op for talking me through your plans for development and to the Carbon Co-op and People Powered Retrofit for hosting me and showing off your model house!
