understanding how we work

Being a member doesn't just mean that you get a card and a share of our profits – it means that you own part of the business. But how can you really get to know the business you’re a vital part of?

To help you understand more about The Co-operative Group, we hold various events around the UK. They range from informative wine- tasting evenings, to in-depth weekend conferences.

Each event is created to help you discover how our values and principles underpin the way we do business, how we engage and support local communities, and how we link and work with the wider co-operative movement.

Take a look at our members' events diary now to take part in an event near you.
