Members' Discussion

Last autumn, your Co-op ran online opportunities and met with thousands of members at pop-up and local events to hear your ideas and feedback on what our businesses do well, and what we could do differently, to help you and your communities thrive. 

With your views in mind, your National Members’ Council shaped this year’s AGM Motions to help guide Co-op on tackling what you care about and running our businesses with your needs at the heart. 

When you vote, you'll help us understand your priorities in these areas but as these issues are important to you generally, it’s important to us that we don’t lose sight of them over the next 12 months.  

However you get involved with our AGM on 16 May, there will be a Members’ Discussion online, at Co-op Live and at each local event so you can tell us how you think these motions should be implemented, if they are passed. You can find details of the motions here.

In advance of the 16th, here are the prompts that we’ll be talking through on the day to help us make a difference together.
