£600k fund for threatened high streets
Are you looking to raise funds through community shares to save a much-loved heritage building or space on your local high street?
600,000 funding for the Community Shares Booster programme, from the Architectural Heritage Fund means community businesses in England can now apply for grants of up to £10,000 to help launch their community share offers. Equity investments of up to £50,000 are also available to match amounts raised in community shares.
The funding is for heritage projects that play an important role in high street revival and the economic resilience of an area in England.
Extra Government funding for the social economy
Following weeks of lobbying the government has announced new funding to help social enterprises, including many co-ops and community businesses, deal with the financial challenges of COVID-19.
£45 million will be provided to help social enterprises access emergency financial support to deal with cash flow problems and disruption to their trading.
This money will be distributed via Big Society Capital. Co-operatives UK is seeking more information on how this could support co-ops hit financially by the pandemic.
JUST LAUNCHED! Free online hub for community action
At a time when more people are discovering the power of community and co-operation, My Community is an easy to use online tool that will help people find the help they need, to turn this surge of community spirit into meaningful action.
We’ve joined together with 11 leading organisations that champion and support community action to launch My Community, bringing together a wealth of information and an easy to use search facility. Even better, it doesn’t cost a thing.
Helping community businesses get a clear financial picture
We're heading into a deep economic crisis and strong business fundamentals can be the difference between survival and failure. Twine Benchmark is a FREE tool to help community businesses assess their financial health and react to Covid-19 by forecasting the potential effects of new business plans.
Developed by Power to Change, it is uniquely powered by financial data from 650+ community businesses, gathered over 5 years, making it easier to understand how your community business compares to others in the market. It will help you to understand where you can cut costs and use the data to make the case to funders, test new business plans and forecast the results.
>> Find out more about Twine Benchmark, follow for updates and watch the webinar, where you will receive a free demonstration to show how the financial tool can help you.
Tell Power to Change what support you need
Lottery funder Power to Change wants to know how it can best help community businesses through the difficulties created by COVID-19.
They have created a 10 minute survey, and would love to hear from community businesses, including those who have stopped operating following the Coronavirus outbreak. The findings will inform a public report of opportunities and challenges facing community businesses like yours. The closing date is Tuesday 30th June.
Cooperatives for Climate Action: International Day of Cooperatives 2020 Theme Unveiled
Cooperatives for Climate Action: International Day of Cooperatives 2020 Theme Unveiled
The theme of the International Day of Cooperatives 2020 is COOPERATIVES FOR CLIMATE ACTION. We are inviting the global cooperative community to continue pushing for actions that will address climate change. This critical situation is putting lives and livelihoods at risk, disrupting vital ecosystems for people and the planet. “Our common home is in danger. There are methods of production and consumption that are constantly attacking the environment. We don’t have much time to reverse this situation. We must act now, with our values and principles, to demonstrate on a global scale that it is possible to develop an economy with social inclusion and protection of natural resources,” said Ariel Guarco, President of the International Cooperative Alliance.
On 4 July 2020, join us as we raise awareness on the importance of addressing climate change. No country is immune from it, greenhouse gas emissions are more than 50 percent higher than it was in 1990, and global warming is causing long-lasting changes to our climate system which threatens irreversible consequences if we do not act.
Cooperatives worldwide can take this opportunity to show leadership and share their cooperative values in combating this global issue. A Cooperator’s Communications Guide will soon be available to help cooperatives use this day to illustrate the importance of taking action to battle climate change.
As we did last year, together with DotCoop We are launching the 2020 International Cooperative Day interactive map to illustrate how cooperatives worldwide are taking action to battle climate change, and celebrating their successes. Get more information here on how to participate. Last year we registered more than 130 events in around 40 countries worldwide. We also encourage you to promote #CoopsDay and #Coops4ClimateAction widely on all your social media channels.
Why this theme?
The 2020 International Cooperatives Day theme was chosen to support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 on Climate Action. This event will focus on the contribution of cooperatives to combating climate change, one of the most severe challenges facing our planet during the 21st century. Climate change severely impacts people’s livelihoods around the world, especially the most disadvantaged groups such as small-scale farmers, women, youth, indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, who have to cope with extreme natural disasters and degradation of natural resources.
The cooperative movement can use this important opportunity to take a stand as a global actor of change and collaborate with its partners within the international community. This collective effort can significantly impact the climate agenda and achieve a fair, green and just transition for all communities, leaving no one behind.
About the International Day of Cooperatives
The United Nations International Day of Cooperatives is celebrated annually on the first Saturday of July. The aim of this celebration is to increase awareness on cooperatives, highlight the complementary goals and objectives of the United Nations and the international cooperative movement, underscore the contributions of the movement to the resolution of the major problems addressed by the United Nations, and strengthen and extend partnerships between the international cooperative movement and other actors.In 1992, following a concerted lobbying effort by the cooperative members of the ICA and Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) members, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the first Saturday of July 1995 to be International Day of Cooperatives, marking the centenary of the establishment of the Alliance, by resolution 47/90 of 16 December 1992.
Since 1995, the ICA and the United Nations have been setting the theme for the celebration of the International Day through COPAC, a multi-stakeholder partnership of global public and private institutions, the ICA being a founding member, that champions and supports people-centred and self-sustaining cooperative enterprises as leaders in sustainable development.
Co-operatives UK Board of Directors Update on Key Decisions March 2020
Co-operatives UK Board of Directors
Update on Key Decisions
March 2020
The Board of Directors of Co-operatives UK met online for an additional meeting in the
context of the COVID-19 virus.
A summary of decisions from the meeting can be found below.
Ed Mayo
Secretary General
Our response to the COVID-19 restrictions
The Board received a report of our work for members over recent weeks. We know that our
members and co-ops in the wider sector are worrying about their ability to continue trade
as well as the short- and medium-term impacts of coronavirus on the sustainability of their
businesses. We are working closely with sector partners to lobby for further support for
co-ops, and we are also in close contact with Government on escalating any particular
issues which are being raised by members.
We are centralising all relevant information and resources on www.uk.coop/coronavirus.
This includes a ‘live’ FAQ that links to our guidance from HR advice and Governance
teams which is being updated regularly. The following guidance has been made available
and issued to members:
CUK COVID19 - HR Advice
CUK COVID19 - Governance
CUK COVID19 - Government support for business (non HR related)
Staff across the organisation are working to gather enquiries and feedback from
members/co-ops and to collate the data in a way that enables reporting and analysis at a
later date.
Early indications suggest that many of our members and other co-ops are facing
tremendous challenges and uncertainty which is impacting on their business and potentially
on their ability to survive. Many businesses, including co-ops are experiencing particular
difficulties with operational issues, such as cash flow, rent and staffing and it is not yet clear
how or if Government support will be sufficient in the medium-term. We know that if co-ops
cease to trade, this will have direct and wide-ranging impacts on their members, the wider
community, beneficiaries and employees.
As an organisation, Co-ops UK has adapted to the restrictions in place. All staff are now
working from home and we are offering additional flexibility for those with caring
responsibilities. The Board expressed appreciation for all the timely and comprehensive
efforts that had been made by Co-ops UK staff to work together and to support our
members in the new context.
Our events
The Board agreed a shift in our events programme, with no physical events now at least
until September, with online-only events encouraged, and with the Co-op Congress
Festival of Co-operation deferred until 2021.
Co-op Fortnight will go ahead still, as this offers a way to connect the movement at a
national level, and we will work on a theme in contact with members to match the current
context.
Our governance
Currently, the Annual General Meeting for Co-operatives UK will go ahead in June, as
scheduled, but on an entirely online basis. The Board expressed confidence that, having
trialled online participation at recent AGMs, we have the systems in place to make this
work.
In terms of strategy planning, the Board expects to approve operational plans for next year
that are based on our current strategy, so that we have time to look forward when the
current context changes and of course when we have a new CEO in place. Proposals on
the recruitment of the CEO will come for decision at the Board’s next meeting in a few
weeks’ time.
The Board expressed best wishes to the Society Secretary, Zena King, who is on maternity
leave from April. Emma Laycock, as planned, will act as interim society secretary over the
coming period.
Email contact on governance matters during this period can therefore be made to Emma
on secretary@uk.coop.

2019 Round up
Activity Report of Co-operatives East Midlands for 2019
Co-operatives East Midlands met at Central England Co-operative Society in Leicester for its meeting in January and decided to explore a change in incorporating Co-operatives East Midlands into a company limited by guarantee with Co-operative articles. It was agreed to submit an application to HIVE, the funding supported by the Co-operative Bank, through Co-operatives UK. Co-operatives East Midlands were in the process of updating their own contact list within the East Midlands in order to build closer relationships where possible. It was agreed that event attendance would include the National Retail Conference, Future Co-ops, Co-op College Centenary Conference, Congress, Ways Forward etc.
The Annual General Meeting was held on 10 April with Jane Powell, (Company Secretary to Lincolnshire Co-operative Society) being re-elected as Chair, Tanya Noon (Membership Officer & Board Member of Central England Co-operative Society) being elected as Vice-Chair and Jenny de Villiers as Secretary/Treasurer. Thanks were expressed to Lincolnshire Co-operative Society Finance Officer, the Boards of Central England Co-operative Society and Lincolnshire Co-operative Society, the Co-op Party and CASE in Leicester for their continued contributions towards the work of Co-operatives East Midlands.
Following a successful joint working event in 2018, it was hoped that further collaboration could take place with Co-operatives East and Co-operatives West Midlands. Agreed to look at how training across the regions could take place, i.e. “There is a Co-op for You”.
Planning for the Co-operative Education Workshop in July continued. A Co-operative Poem campaign was organised for poems to be submitted by 30 April. This resulted in a short You Tube video being produced which included the collaborated poem. https://youtu.be/DSF9ekFMDZK
“Co-operative Education Past & Future” Event was held in July. This event was well attended with speakers from the WEA, Vaughan College and the Co-operative College to build on knowledge of member engagement, adult education linking with co-operation and co-operatives in particular.
A meeting was held at the Boole Technology Centre, Lincoln Science & Innovation Park in Lincoln on 4 September. Throughout the year, members have given updates on each co-operative society and organisation. Planning for the next year is underway with focus on partnership working, education and training and how the message of the value of co-operatives can be spread to younger audiences. A priority was to support co-operative development and how this could be supported.
The Co-operative College Centenary Conference, held in November at Rochdale Town Hall was attended by Jenny de Villiers (she had been an employee there from 1992-2006). This was an inspiring conference with speakers from international and UK co-operative sectors. www.coop.ac.uk

Co-operatives East Midlands 2018 Activity Report
2018 Activity Report of Co-operatives East Midlands
Co-operatives East Midlands was established in the mid-1990s to work in tandem with the setting up of Government regional development agencies, the East Midlands Development Agency and Government Office. Since that time we have continued to work to our objective of raising awareness of co-operatives in their many forms and promoting their development. 2018 has been a very active year and the events it has organised have been well supported. The themes for the year have been as follows:
Meetings

20 June – AGM – The Council House, Derby City Council
5 September – Central England Co-operative Society Distribution Centre, Leicester

Educational Visits
An education visit to the Rochdale Pioneers Museum and Rochdale Town Hall took place on 18 April with two coaches leaving from Derby/Nottingham and Lincoln. Attended by 60+ co-operators and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all attending. Many had not visited the Museum before and were able to learn about our co-operative heritage. This also enabled different Society members to meet together from Lincolnshire Co-operative Society, the Co-operative Group and Central England Co-operative Society
Toad Lane – Rochdale Pioneers’ Museum
Joint Working
In order to establish firmer joint working between the Regional Co-op Councils of East Midlands, Co-operatives East and Co-operatives West Midlands, a meeting was held in Leicester to draw out priority areas that could support the work being done by these Councils and look at ways of putting out a clear message to the different regions. This would enable a sharing of resources and expertise. The event was well attended with over 40 attending, including the Co-operative College Principal, Co-operatives UK, the Co-operative Group Head of Co-operative Relations, the Co-op Foundation Charity and stakeholders interested in furthering this objective. Views were captured on flipcharts and were discussed at the November meeting of CEM with an action plan being agreed.

Co-operative East Midlands Newsletter | More Confidence in Co-operatives over traditional businesses
With an uncertain Brexit around the corner, consumer confidence in business has fallen to a dramatic low. New survey data released today (Thursday 23 August) reveals that just over one third of people (36%) believe that most companies in the UK are fair to consumers,1 down from 44% in 2000 and 61% in 1983 in previous offline research.2
Over three out of four people (76%) now believe that big business benefits owners at the expense of its workers. At the same time, some businesses retain high levels of consumer trust. Over six out of ten people (62%) surveyed trust co-operative businesses, such as The Co-op Group or John Lewis, which are owned by their members who all have a say in how the business is run.
“The co-operative way is to give a voice to those involved in the business and we are seeing an increase in people attracted to this way of working," Ed Mayo, Secretary General, Co-operatives UK
The YouGov survey, which updates research carried out in the last 40 years, was commissioned by Co-operatives UK, the trade body for co-operatives – a sector worth £36 billion to the UK economy.
Ed Mayo, Secretary General of Co-operatives UK, said: "High street closures, falling profits and uncertainty around Brexit makes this an extraordinarily challenging period for British business, but it will be tougher still if the UK has indeed hit a new low in terms of consumer confidence in business."
The survey found that the strongest driver for whether people trust businesses comes from being a good employer, with 72% believing this made for a trustworthy business, followed by passing on savings to customers (69%), behaving fairly (67%) and a three way tie for fourth with 55%, which was supporting their local communities or caring for the environment and sharing profits with its employees/ shareholders
“The co-operative way is to give a voice to those involved in the business and we are seeing an increase in people attracted to this way of working," added Ed Mayo. "Perhaps it is time for UK Plc, before it is too late, to recast its relationship with customers and employees in a more co-operative spirit."
The YouGov survey follows on from last month's Co-op Economy report, published by Co-operatives UK, which revealed that new co-ops are almost twice as likely as start-up companies to survive their first five years.

We also have a record number of co-operative members at 13.1 million. One of the report's standout findings is that co‑ops are almost twice as likely as other businesses to survive their first five years!
During Co‑operatives Fortnight (23 June-7 July) we now want to spread this report far and wide to show why people need to get behind co‑ops.

RCCs meeting at the Co-operative Retail Conference 9/10/11 March 2018
Jim Cooke, Head of the Foundation - gave an inspiring talk about their work with young people and co-operating together to their economic and social advantage and how grants and funding through the Foundation supports their development. www.coopfoundation.org.uk.

Sarah Kirkpatrick from Co-operatives East, Tanya Noon from Co-operatives East Midlands and Carl Taylor from Co-operatives West Midlands. Carl is CEO of BCHS, co-operative housing. The meeting agreed to build their relationships to work more closely together and also with wider co-operative organisations nationally. A set of outcomes were defined and an action plan was agreed together.
This was followed by the Co-operative Retail Conference weekend event designed to inform members of Societies of recent data and projects relating to the co-operative economy, challenges and the increasing relevance of defining and giving out a clear messaging of the “co-operative difference” on the High Street - Steve Murrells, CEO from the Co-op, talked of greater collaboration within the sector and “marching to the same beat”.
