Are you a freelancer or sole trader in the digital sector? Or an artist in the creative sector? Many people find themselves balancing the freedom of independent work with the challenges that come with doing it alone or working within organisations that might not fully reflect their values or ambitions.
Forming a cooperative offers another path. It allows you to pool skills, resources and networks with others who share your goals.
Cooperatives can provide greater stability, shared benefits and more say in how work is shaped. They’re built on principles that prioritise fairness, transparency and collective decision‑making, giving people the space to thrive on their own terms.
Find out how you can start or transition to a cooperative model and become part of a global movement that puts people and planet first.
Join this webinar to learn about inspiring cooperatives and the people behind them.
You will leave with:
- A better understanding of what a cooperative is.
- Insight from people behind some of the most inspiring cooperatives in the UK.
- Clear guidance on the support available if you’d like to start your own or transition.
