About the event
This Future Co-ops 2025 conference is taking place Friday 31st Jan and Sat 1 Feb in Lichfield.
Context for the event:
"The government has announced an ambitious target to double the size of the co-operative and mutual sector and to work with the movement to address the barriers we face, such as accessing finance. But what does doubling even mean? Doubling the number of co-ops? The turnover? The number of people that are members of a co-op? Are we being asked to do the impossible?"
"Throughout ‘The Trouble with Double’ we’ll consider what the challenge of doubling the sector actually looks like. Measuring the impact of this growth is crucial. Should we focus on financial metrics or should we be aiming for social impact over simple quantity, staying true to the values and principles of the co-operative movement. Amongst others, Co-operatives UK are working on a response to the doubling opportunity in their Co-operative Growth Strategy – planned for a January release. So, this timely conference will build on that and bring delegates with experience and expertise together to push things forward, from strategy to action!"
