As the voice of the UK’s co-operative movement, we empower and support co-operative enterprise with specialised knowledge and expertise, to grow the co-operative economy and create a fairer society. From football clubs and farms, to convenience stores and pubs, there are more than 7,000 co-operatives in the UK, each owned and controlled by their members and based on a set of shared principles and values. By promoting shared wealth through member ownership, we are committed to enable anyone in the UK to form, or join, thriving and sustainable co-ops.

Putting people in the lead to improve lives and communities across the UK. Our new strategic framework available at https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/about-big/strategic-framework sets out what people can expect from us as a funder over the next six years. We are a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Cabinet Office
