Modern day cooperative pioneers share how they are building a democratic and equitable economy. The podcast has a West Midlands focus, to make our regional voice stronger. We welcome listeners and guests from all over the world, as we are an international movement.
Co-operatives West Midlands is the representative body for the co-operative sector, standing up for hundreds of member-owned businesses and organisations.
We're one of the organisations behind the Save Birmingham campaign, which was launched last year in response to the financial challenges facing Birmingham City Council based on co-operative solutions and community ownership.
This year, we're putting forward an ambitious co-operative manifesto in the run up to key local elections taking place in the West Midlands on 2 May 2024 - including the West Midlands Mayor. We're non-party political, and encourage candidates from all political parties to adopt policies that will support and strengthen the co-operative sector in the West Midlands.
Making Co-ops Thrive aims to achieve a step change in Co-operative Development in the West Midlands.
