This strategy outlines a historic opportunity to unlock rapid co-operative growth in the UK, addressing societal challenges like the climate emergency and inclusive economic development.

Read how Co-operatives UK, alongside members and key stakeholders, plans to help government achieve its ambitions double the size of the UK’s co-operative sector. The Co-operative Growth Strategy identifies eight national-level opportunities for impactful growth, such as community co-operation, sustainable food systems, and public services. It also details the critical enablers required - like finance, education, and development support - while emphasising local action. 

Download the strategy to discover how we can empower co‑operatives to tackle today’s most pressing societal challenges. Two downloads are available. Both are comprehensive, with the second 'full and unabridged' boasting an additional level of detail.

This strategy was approved by our Board in December 2024, following extensive consultation with our members and partners over a period extending beyond 12 months.
