We support
Cooperate Islington is supporting a new generation of democratic, people-centred businesses to flourish. We are also working with the biggest institutions in the borough, helping them adapt their supply chains to buy goods and services locally from ethical providers. We envision a world where money stays in the local economy, and flows to the people who need it, and who are invested in their community.
How Are We Doing This?
Grants
Small grants (between £500 and £20k) for groups to start or grow cooperatives in Islington.
Guidance
Each group that receives a grant will also receive 2-7 days of dedicated support from a cooperative business adviser.
