Cooperatives NorthWest

Co-operatives North West is encouraging all co-operatives trading in Cumbria to join the Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership. CSEP’s manager, Rob Randell, has secured a ‘seat at the table’ regarding decisions within Cumbria’s Local Economic Partnership. The more co-operatives that join CSEP, the stronger his voice will be in lobbying for support for co-operative and social enterprise, and the stronger Cumbria LEP’s bid will be for public funding.

Whether you are a well established co-operative, a relatively new co-op or are thinking of setting up a co-op, there are lots of opportunities that can help support and develop your business. This includes fully funded specialist business support as well as mentoring, training and networking events.
