Co-operatives: Owned by our Members
“When you join a co-operative, you join a global movement that’s building a better world.”
Co‑operatives: Owned by our Members is a short film showcasing the values, diversity and impact of co-operatives across the UK – and beyond. It's a powerful tool, created in the International Year of Co-operatives 2025, to help increase understanding of co-operatives when welcoming new members and staff, designed for inductions, websites, social media and events.
In this section we invite you to watch the film and also discover ways to use it as widely as possible, from colleague inductions to embedding on your co-operative's website.
