Text printed on Tea Towel As a co-op we follow the Seven Co-operative Principles A co-op is a group of people that gets together to organise collectively for their mutual benefit. Work, housing, services, pubs and social centres can all be co-operatively owned and managed. Homes without landlords. Work without bosses. Society without exploitation. Co-operatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, social responsibility, openness and caring for others. 1. Coop membership is open and voluntary. 2. Co-ops are controlled only by their members, who each have equal control. 3. All members have a fair stake in the co-op. Investment does not give control and gives only a small return. 4. Co-ops are autonomous and independent self-help organisations. 5. We educate and train members so they can contribute to the co-op. We also inform the public about the benefits of co-operation. 6. Co-operation among co-ops benefits members and the wider co-op movement. 7. We act with concern for the wider community.

Hey fediverse! If you've chatted to me in the last year or so (or, frankly, if you've passed within earshot) you'll have heard me talking about the main project I'm part of currently: Perennial Housing Co-op. https://perennialhousingcoop.uk We're trying to start a new housing coop in NE London, as part of the @RadicalRoutes network, to be a home for 6-10 people. Our hope is that this will be a solid base (providing stable, affordable, community-controlled housing) for community support and activism. We're raising money currently, and we've just extended our loanstock offer until the end of August. There's a whole bunch of terms and concepts which might not be familiar to folks, so this is an invite to reply to this post with all questions! AMA! 🙋⁉️ (No question is too small or too silly, please ask!) And please boost for reach! ✌️ #HousingCoop #Coop #AMA

I really like the system that follows from @RadicalRoutes principles - if the principle is that no-one is barred from participation due to low financial means, then participation needs to be robustly separated from financial means. The way we do this is […]

Text: "It is a secure and sustainable plant-based food system globally that will deliver and stave off the worst-case scenarios of climate breakdown and in so doing support farmers to transition to a realistic, sustainable food future. It is estimated that more than 70% of farmland can be taken out of production and rewilded to allow depleted soils to recover, while still providing enough wholefoods for the growing British population. Rivers and seas will become cleaner, as will our atmosphere. Wild animals and insects will return and flourish as the industrial scale of animal farming and super-trawler fishing die off like fossil fuels – stranded assets."
