Cooperation Town

Cooperation Town is a movement of community food co-ops, self organising on streets and estates across the country. There are around 30 co-ops in our network, with 3 in Sheffield, in Burngreave and Southey.

Practices

Cooperation Town co-ops are small neighbourhood buying groups, providing their members with free and affordable groceries, sourced in bulk and distributed at a very low price.

Cooperation Town food co-ops are owned by their members and run according to local needs. Members decide collectively on how to organise and are responsible for the day to day running of the co-op.

While each Cooperation Town co-op is independent, the network is designed to share resources and support across the movement.

We have 3 co-ops in Sheffield in Burngreave and Southey.

Our vision is for a food co-op on every street in every town.
