abstract
  • Co-operativesUK is "the central membership organisation for co-operative enterprise throughout the UK", a co-operative federation founded in 1869 as the Co-operative Central Board, before changing its name to the Co-operative Union and finally becoming Co-operativesUK following its merger with the Industrial Common Ownership Movement (ICOM) in 2002. Historically associated with the consumer co-operatives, the merger broadened its scope to include worker co-operatives and it now exists to support and promote the values of the whole UK Co-operative Movement. During its history, it has been responsible for the organisation of the Co-operative Congresses, the establishment of both Co-operative Commissions and the creation of the Co-operative College and the Co-operative Party. Its head office is Holyoake House, a Grade II listed building in Manchester built in 1911 in memoriam of the co-operative activist George Jacob Holyoake, and its membership includes organisations as diverse as the Woodcraft Folk, the Co-operative Group and the Oxted School Young Co-operative. It is controlled by a board elected by its membership, and is a member of the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA), the trustee of the Co-operative College, and retains a nominated seat on the National Executive Committee of the Co-operative Party.
