Autumn Co-op Intake: New Groups Wanted

The co‑operative movement in Northern Ireland is gathering pace, and we are now opening recruitment for new groups ready to explore or develop a co‑operative idea.

Over the summer, our Spring cohort made major progress, shaping their models, making key business and legal decisions, and preparing to register new community co‑ops. Their momentum is creating more democratic, member‑owned organisations across the region.

Recruitment for the Autumn intake runs from 1st October to 26th October. If your group is curious about the co‑operative model, or you are early‑stage and unsure whether the programme is right for you, this is the moment to step forward. Get in touch and request an application form, and we can guide you ahead of submission.

The Regional Co‑operative Support Programme offers tailored mentoring, action planning, seed funding and peer learning.

The application form is available online at https://forms.gle/yDLvJ1kih6Wkf7LM6
