Be co-operative

Intro: 

Across the UK, tens of thousands of people celebrated the first ever Co-operatives Fortnight, which ran from 19 June to 3 July 2010.

Tagline: 

From events to early day motions, Twitter and tastings, members and supporters of co-operatives got together to promote the co-operative alternative.

Co-ordinated by Co-operatives UK with the support of its Founding Sponsors, Co-operatives Fortnight united the whole co-operative sector to demonstrate that there is an alternative way of doing business where profits and ownership are shared.

The Co-operatives Fortnight 2010 site is closing down now but you can keep in touch with Co-operatives Fortnight news and plans for next year.

Follow Co-operatives Fortnight on Twitter.

Join the Co-operatives Fortnight Facebook page.

The Co-operatives Fortnight newsletter will still be released, with news on the outcome of the evaluation and plans for next year. You can still sign up on the Fortnight website or on the Co-operatives UK Co-operative Fortnight page.

The reports, resources and case studies produced during Co-operatives Fortnight 2010 are available on the Co-operatives UK website.
