Our movement is one of radical optimism.
Not seeing the world just as it is, but how it could be.
Cait Prowle delivers our Sororal Greetings at Labour Party Conference.
Great to hear from the Co-op Group's Paul Gerrard on how today's Budget, including the appointment of a new Co-operatives and Mutuals Champion, can help drive good, resilient, co-operative growth in every postcode. 🐝
Watch what he had to say 👇

Today, as announced at the Budget, our movement gets its first ever Champion in government.
Hear directly from the new Co-operatives and Mutuals Champion, @AndrewPakes_ , on how he'll use his new role to ensure more people have the chance to own, shape and benefit from co-operative growth.
🚨 BREAKING: @andrewpakes_ announced as the Government's new Co-operatives and Mutuals Champion in the 2026 Budget.
Our movement's champion will work across government to break down barriers to growth and help deliver the ambition to double the size of the co-operative and mutual sector.
The halls, clubs and venues that bring us together matter too much for their future to be decided without us.
Community ownership gives the people who use them the power to keep their doors open.

Across Britain, people are taking ownership of the places that bring their communities together.
Our latest video explores our campaign, Community Britain, and how government can step forward to help more communities take control of their future.

We all want clean water, healthy rivers and confidence that our bills support a service we can trust.
Baggy Shanker MP asked Ministers to explore mutual ownership of water companies, giving communities more say over a service we all depend on.
When we lose someone we love, we should be able to trust they’ll be treated with care and respect.
Rachael Maskell MP raised concerns from Co-op Funeralcare and other providers in Parliament, calling for stronger regulation to protect that dignity.
When someone we love needs care, we want to know they’re in good hands.
As work begins on a National Care Service, meet the team at Be Caring in Leeds, where staff own the business and co-operative values guide the care they provide.

Delighted to have spoken at the Wales Co-operative conference this weekend about the need to devolve more power across Wales.
Power belongs closer to people, and Saturday’s @walescoopparty Conference made the case for giving communities across Wales the powers they need to shape their own futures, rather than concentrating decisions at the centre.
Diolch to everyone who joined us!

Proud to speak to Co-operative conference today.
The Labour and Co-operative parties share a belief in fairness, equality, and the power of working together.
It’s great to be celebrating that shared vision today.

We caught up with @Becky_Gittins after she spoke at our Annual Conference in Cardiff! 🌹🐝
Working together with @WelshLabour, we want to push power as close to communities as possible, from Clwyd East to Caerphilly.

Community energy is about changing who owns power, giving communities a direct stake in our clean energy future.
Great to host London’s first ever Community Energy Summit with @CommEnergyLDN today ✊🏼✊🏾
