Event description
Join us as we bring together local co-operators for networking drinks and to showcase co-operative success.
Co-operatives offer a fair, democratic and equitable way to do business. Co-ops have been thriving for decades and are currently experiencing a groundswell of interest as society demands a better model for doing business. The original social enterprise, with democracy in its DNA, co-ops enjoy the unique benefit of localising the economy and growing community wealth.
