We are the rebuilders

Why co-ops?

We have an opportunity to do more than simply get through the Covid-19 crisis  We can help meet the biggest challenge of our time by rapidly reducing environmental harms while still living in a way that engenders widespread wellbeing. And we can do it in ways that are fair, democratic, empowering and aspirational. In We are the rebuilders we set out four co-op 'offers'. We examine what we're doing, alongside our partners, to make each of these offers a realist and important, what government - at a local and national level - to multiply our impact.

The four offers

  • Create decent new livelihoods
  • Keep viable jobs in their community
  • Breathe new life into local assets and enterprise
  • Convert newfound community spirit into transformative social action
