Workers’ Coop Weekend

The Worker Co-op Weekend, hosted by Co-operatives UK is aimed at worker co-operatives to help them learn, share and be inspired by one another.

The programme is made up of practical sessions designed and run by worker co-ops and covers a range of topics. This year’s venue is Rock UK Frontier Centre in Northamptomshire,

Key elements to the Worker Co-op Weekend:

  • Designed and run by worker co-ops for worker co-ops
