Call for evidence on business support for co-operatives and non-financial mutuals: Final CCIN response
- February 2026
The Co-op Councils Innovation Network met at Rochdale Town Hall yesterday for its annual conference, where it discussed ways to build co-operative places.
Keynote speakers and workshop facilitators stressed the need to embed co-op values in the network’s activities, with Lord Kennedy, Labour/Co-op peer and shadow spokesperson on communities and local government, saying it offered “ideas and innovations for the challenges ahead” while the country endures “very strange, very difficult times”.
