Our movement is one of radical optimism.
Not seeing the world just as it is, but how it could be.
Cait Prowle delivers our Sororal Greetings at Labour Party Conference.
The halls, clubs and venues that bring us together matter too much for their future to be decided without us.
Community ownership gives the people who use them the power to keep their doors open.

Across Britain, people are taking ownership of the places that bring their communities together.
Our latest video explores our campaign, Community Britain, and how government can step forward to help more communities take control of their future.

We all want clean water, healthy rivers and confidence that our bills support a service we can trust.
Baggy Shanker MP asked Ministers to explore mutual ownership of water companies, giving communities more say over a service we all depend on.
When we lose someone we love, we should be able to trust they’ll be treated with care and respect.
Rachael Maskell MP raised concerns from Co-op Funeralcare and other providers in Parliament, calling for stronger regulation to protect that dignity.
When someone we love needs care, we want to know they’re in good hands.
As work begins on a National Care Service, meet the team at Be Caring in Leeds, where staff own the business and co-operative values guide the care they provide.

Delighted to have spoken at the Wales Co-operative conference this weekend about the need to devolve more power across Wales.
Power belongs closer to people, and Saturday’s @walescoopparty Conference made the case for giving communities across Wales the powers they need to shape their own futures, rather than concentrating decisions at the centre.
Diolch to everyone who joined us!

Proud to speak to Co-operative conference today.
The Labour and Co-operative parties share a belief in fairness, equality, and the power of working together.
It’s great to be celebrating that shared vision today.

We caught up with @Becky_Gittins after she spoke at our Annual Conference in Cardiff! 🌹🐝
Working together with @WelshLabour, we want to push power as close to communities as possible, from Clwyd East to Caerphilly.

Community energy is about changing who owns power, giving communities a direct stake in our clean energy future.
Great to host London’s first ever Community Energy Summit with @CommEnergyLDN today ✊🏼✊🏾

Devolution should not stop at Holyrood. Andy Burnham’s speech here in Motherwell today set out how we can empower Scotland’s regions and create good jobs in every part of our nation.

Sharing power is at the heart of co-operative politics.
Our Labour & Co-operative Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Secretary of State for Scotland Douglas Alexander are calling for more decisions to be made in Scotland’s regions and cities.
Next year marks 100 years of co-operation between Labour and the Co-operative Party.
Labour MP Becky Gittins has called for Parliament to celebrate that history and debate what the co-operative movement can deliver next.
Care co-ops should help shape the National Care Service.
Andrew Pakes MP put that idea to Care Minister Alison McGovern MP, who confirmed co-operative values are part of the Government’s thinking, empowering people and ensuring their voices are heard.
Celebrating her mum’s 89th birthday and a lifetime dedicated to the NHS, @RachaelMaskell also paid tribute to the 1.6 million people working in care.
She made the case for care co-operatives that trust workers, empower people who use services and give both a voice in care.
Families should not have to exhaust a lifetime of savings while private equity extracts profit from social care.
@jackabbott90 argues that a new National Care Service must put co-operative and not-for-profit care at its heart, putting people before profit.
Co-operative care gives workers and the people receiving support a voice in how services operate, keeps resources focused on better care and treats care as a social good rather than a commodity.
