Co-operatives UK Events

As ever more local newspapers close and titles merge, more and more communities are left without a local media outlet, feeding a sense that local media is undergoing a slow but inevitable death. But there are examples across the British Isles, the US and elsewhere that tell a different story.

Co-operatives UK and Carnegie UK Trust have joined together to organise a series of meetings across the UK showcasing these alternatives.  By attending these free events we hope you will be inspired and stimulated to take action to save your local media.  This is your opportunity to make local media work as a sustainable business and help to protect our democracy through local accountability.

The Co-operative Congress is the co-operative sector's premier event, bringing together those with a passion in co-operative action to share ideas, learn and be inspired.Taking place over three days, it's an opportunity to hear from experts and leaders from the sector, as well as network and learn more about co-operatives working in the UK today.
