Our National Members' Council

Co-op has a different way of doing business and exists to meet its members' needs. Our members own our Co-op and the National Members' Council is part of how we are run, representing our values and members’ views.

Council is made up of 100 people, including Co-op Member-Owners, colleagues and people from other co-op societies, and they come from all walks of life. Our Council Members meet regularly to be advocates for our values and principles, hear the latest from around our Co-op and provide input on big plans: helping us to create everyday value for our member-owners.

In 2024, this included: empowering members to campaign and change the law for attacking or assaulting a shopworker; calling for Member Prices on healthy products, leading to better offers on fruit and veg; and inspiring our 'Owned By You, Right By You' campaign to showcase our difference as a co-operative.
