Brief History
The earliest record of a co-operative comes from Scotland in March 14
1761. In 1844 a group of 28 artisans working in the cotton mills in north of
England established the first modern co-operative business.

Let's "Rebuild better
together"
This July 3rd, the International
Day of Cooperatives (#CoopsDay) will be celebrated as “Rebuild better
together”. Cooperatives around the world will showcase how they are meeting the
COVID-19 pandemic crisis with solidarity and resilience and offering communities a people-centred
and environmentally just recovery.
In the fields of health, agriculture, production, retail, finance, housing,
employment, education, social services and many other spheres where cooperatives are found, the more than one billion cooperative members
worldwide continue to prove that no one needs to face a crisis like the
pandemic on their own.
#CoopsDay will be the occasion to spread the word about how a
human-centred business model, sustained by the cooperative values of self-help
and solidarity and the ethical values of social responsibility and concern for
community, can reduce inequality, create shared prosperity and respond to the
immediate impacts of COVID-19.
