Cooperative councils draw on diverse approaches shaped by cooperative principles to transform their relationships with communities, build resilience, and drive economic and social development through partnership. Examples include Oldham transforming through whole place leadership, Lambeth cooperatively commissioning with communities, and Sunderland empowering community leadership. The Cooperative Councils Innovation Network is a non-partisan hub that informs, influences, and collaborates with local authorities committed to transforming how they partner with communities through cooperative models.
