Our Co-Operative Values
1. Members own the co‑op
The co‑op belongs to the people who use it — whether they’re customers, workers, suppliers, or part of the community. They’re the ones who benefit from it.

1. Members own the co‑op
The co‑op belongs to the people who use it — whether they’re customers, workers, suppliers, or part of the community. They’re the ones who benefit from it.
2. Everyone has an equal say
A co‑op is run democratically. Every member gets one vote, no matter how much money or time they put in. Decisions and profits are shared fairly.
3. Everyone contributes in some way
Members support the co‑op by buying from it, working in it, investing in it, or helping decide how its profits should be used.
4. It’s independent
Even if a co‑op works with other organisations, it stays in control of its own decisions because it’s owned by its members.
5. Learning and training are important
Co‑ops help their members and workers learn new skills so the co‑op can grow, improve, and spread the idea of co‑operation.
6. Co‑ops help each other
Co‑ops don’t compete in the usual way — they collaborate, share ideas, and support one another.
7. Co‑ops care about their communities
A co‑op tries to make a positive difference to the people and places around it.
