Intro: 

Co-operatives Fortnight is the time to shout about your co-operative.

There’ll be a flurry of activities and excitement about co-operatives across the UK. Why not use the Fortnight as an opportunity to raise your co-operative's profile?

There's no end of things you could do. Here are some ideas to get you thinking.



  • Hold an open day
  • Take the lead in getting your community to address a local problem
  • Join with other co-operatives to showcase what makes you different
  • Celebrate International Co-operatives Day on 3 July
  • Run a promotion during Co-operatives Fortnight
  • Visit schools or community groups to talk aboutco-operation
  • Hold a meal for members and customers

We’ll have lots of useful tools for you to use.

For now, why not promote the Fortnight to members and colleagues and start thinking about what you’ll do during the Fortnight?

Download our Co-operatives Fortnight Toolkit, which has more on these ideas, as well as template press releases, letters, regional contacts, facts and figures.

And if you’ve got ideas already then why not share them on the share ideas page here?
