The Big Society Co-operative

The Big Society Cooperative offers a completely new way of working.

As a collaborative venture it seeks to support the wide range of organisations that make up the Civil Society Sector; to up-skill and improve their quality and effectiveness and support them to be more self reliant and sustainable in the long term.

The Big Society Cooperative has been set up to act as a broker and facilitator, bringing together organisations of all sizes from across civil, private and public sectors to develop a new way of responding to the challenges of commissioning and delivering public services.
