Today’s budget promises growth – let’s make it good growth. Many measures could enable co‑operative growth, if designed with co‑ops in mind.

Amazing work from @JimfromOldham Game Changer!
Delighted to bring forward a new £10 million regional Co-operative Development Programme to help mayors and strategic authorities set up more co-operative businesses, owned and run by the staff, customers and communities who use them, so local people share directly in their success. 🐝

This is the foundation on which communities can build up local enterprises. Value of cooperative development should never be undervalued
Great to see @guardian coverage of yesterday’s government announcement of new funding for high streets and communities – including a new £10m Co-operative Development Programme.
theguardian.com/business/202…
Our CEO @RoseMarley1 is quoted: “This funding shows a govt that understands how giving power and agency to communities brings positive change + improves lives, with community, business and local government all working together.”

It’s part of a £210m govt package to bring high streets back to life, including support for communities to take over the pubs, shops and much-loved local spaces that matter to them.
Full details are still to come. We’ll be working with government on how the money is spent. 👇
