#CoopFortnight celebrates how co-operatives offer an altogether different way to do business. Meet Homebaked Community Land Trust in Liverpool, set up by a group of Anfield and Everton locals who came together in response to failed top-down regeneration. 🤝 They’re behind an ambitious multi-use community property development project – and their other great work includes putting on community events and supporting local businesses and start-ups that address local needs. 🏚️ They’ve also embarked upon another ambitious project, The Cosy Homes Club, which aims to empower local people to ‘retrofit’ their homes to make them more comfortable and cheaper to run. 💡 “It’s about energy efficiency for all,” said Zero Carbon Neighbourhoods Project Lead Rachael Branton. “We’re investigating how we can achieve an efficient roll out of whole-house retrofit in Anfield and Everton, in a way that doesn’t leave anyone behind.” 💻 To that end, Homebaked CLT has been conducting research and has held training, talks and workshops on subjects including carbon literacy and DIY draft excluding. 🙋 “We’re working towards building a group of people in the area who have the knowledge and enthusiasm to work together to create change in their housing. It needs to come from the people in the area – we are aiming to create the conditions that allow people to do that.” ✊ Want to see more grassroots community empowerment like this?

On the 21 December 1844, a shop opened in Toad Lane in Rochdale selling just five products ... but the products were fairly priced and not contaminated. Over the next 180 years, that first modern co-operative shop opened by the Rochdale Pioneers and Equitable Society grew into a global movement that now has 3 million co-operative businesses and enterprises with 1 billion members and annual revenues in excess of £2.5 trillion - bigger than the GDP of all but the biggest national economies. One of the lessons of those last 180 years is that while hate divides communities, co-operation builds them. From Guatemala to Rwanda, co-operative models have proven to not just be more resilient businesses but also in their equity and democracy a compelling force for peace and reconciliation. So it was fitting that on 21 December 2024 at Toad Lane, the modern co-operative movement launched a new Fund for International Co-operative Development whicht aims to support new and exciting co-ops around the world in the places they are needed most. I am very proud that the Co-op is a driving force behind the Fund working with other co-ops in the UK and that I am one of the founding Directors of the Fund. Hate Divides Communities, Co-operatives Build Them.
