Principles met

  • We will support the development of a framework and criteria for social value, giving substance to the concept and supporting Councils with the tools to ensure better local social and economic outcomes.

In January 29 2014, the Cooperative Councils Innovation Network and Lambeth Council hosted a series of workshops looking at what cooperative commissioning means in practice, through the use of case studies including the Young Lambeth Cooperative, Lambeth Cooperative Parks, and Living Well Collaborative. See below for a summary of the day and slidepacks of the case studies and Lambeth’s cooperative ambitions.
