This morning, we’re releasing a ground-breaking new report with HOPE not hate on how pride in our communities can restore trust in our politics and hope in our country. Get a first look in the The Independent below 👇 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…


Read our new report: Holding on to HOPE: Lessons from Community Britain, based on polling from 22,000 people across the UK. It’s a call for power to shift back to the communities holding this country together. 📊 In partnership with Co-operative Party party.coop/community/less…

Trust in national politics is broken. But pride in community is strong, and people want more say over what happens where they live. Our new report with HOPE not hate makes the case: If we want to change how people feel about politics, we have to start where hope still exists.


Powerful piece from Real Britain Ros today highlighting the power + potential of community and the need for politics to step up and help. We have really enjoyed working w/ HOPE not hate on the report featured in the piece and thankful for the support from Christina McAnea Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods


🚨 NEW: We're hosting a talk at this year's inaugural SXSW London. Our Head of Politics Caitlin Prowle will be joined by Deputy Mayor of London for Climate @MeteCoban92 to discuss a version of climate politics that brings communities on the journey to net zero.



Community energy gives power back to the British people. We're working with Ed Miliband to put energy back the hands of in communities with the Local Power Plan and GB Energy.

🐝Caitlin Prowle out and about, spreading the good news message of community ownership of energy alongside Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy Mete Coban MBE outlining London’s action to support its rapid expansion. 🐝

Great to be in Holyrood yesterday marking the UN Year of the Co-operative. A year in which the UN is calling on countries around the world to promote the co-op economy. Lovely to see so many friends. Thanks to Paul Sweeney for hosting + Scotmid Co-operative for supporting the event


Congratulations to great colleagues Jim McMahon MP and Ruth Hall re-elected as Chair and Vice Chair of good ship Co-operative Party tonight - all power to their elbows🐝


Had a brilliant day with Co-operative Party in Settle - people here are leading the way on putting their community first. I want to see that all across York and North Yorkshire, so it was great to see the difference it is making in Settle.

Thank you to Sarah Boyack MSP for her years of service as a Scottish Co-operative Party MSP. A passionate advocate for community energy, future generations, and community ownership of transport — her commitment to co-operative values has made a real difference. 👏🌍 ⚡️🐝
