Northern Ireland Co-operative Forum

The Northern Ireland Co-operative Forum (NI Co-op Forum) is the regional body representing the interests of existing and emerging co-operatives in Northern Ireland.

The Forum’s primary purpose is to provide a framework of mutual support among co-operatives and to communicate the practice and ethos of co-operation to policy makers, at Government and at community level.

We provide information on the co-operative business model, the benefits that co-operatives can offer, the development process and the NI co-operative sector.
