What if co-ops fulfilled their true potential? Whatif.coop is a multi-author blog to explore what the full potential of co-ops could be. Insights from Whatis.coop will be fed back to the national UK Congress and to Co-ops UK. Please draw on and share your personal experience and aspirations for the movement. If you want to express frustration (which is fine) you also have to add the “wouldn’t it be better if…” part. It’s partly based on the Ideal Government blog. What’s with the donkeys? March 2, 2017.

Let’s stop justifying ourselves as viable businesses, we are so much more. November 9, 2016. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
