Cooperatives West Midlands
Welcome to Cooperatives West Midlands, the representative body of cooperative enterprise in the region. We are a regional network for cooperatives and the people who work and volunteer for coops. We do this through:
- Being a safe space for cooperators to support each other
- Putting on events
- Providing education for cooperatives
- Working with other regional and national cooperative networks.
We also have a programme to support people to set up cooperatives, and to support existing coops who are in need of help.
We are run by an elected management committee made up of active cooperators from around the West Midlands.
Thank you to our donors within the cooperative movement, we couldn’t exist without your ongoing support!
