What's on offer?

This informal, interactive drop-in event will explore how co-operatives and other community-led initiatives can help people respond to cost-of-living pressures.

What's it about?

Could your neighbourhood save money by working together?

Join this interactive simulation and discover how co-operatively buying fresh fruit and vegetables can cut food costs while strengthening local communities.

Inspired by the Cooperation Town movement, you'll step into the role of a community organiser, make decisions about collective purchasing, and see how weekly and monthly savings add up.

Explore the power of co-operation and learn how communities can take practical action together.
