🗓 Saturday 5 July
📍 Rochdale Town Hall

🎉 Proudly sponsored by The Co-operative Bank

You’ll hear from inspiring speakers, get stuck into hands-on sessions and meet loads of other young people – from co-operatives and beyond. It’s your chance to connect, learn and explore how co-operation can give you the tools to make change – in your work, your community and the wider world.
