Directory of co-operatives in Rochdale Borough 2012

 Directory of co-operatives in Rochdale Borough 2012

Chair’s Foreword

We are proud that our town is known as the ‘birthplace of co-operation’ in honour of the Rochdale Pioneers opening their store at 31 Toad Lane in 1844 and starting today’s Co-operative Movement. We are prouder still that Rochdale was declared ‘World Capital of Co-operatives’, at the start of the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives 2012.  

To mark the International Year of Co-operatives, we have produced this directory of today’s Pioneers: co-operatives operating in the Borough in 2012. We are Rochdale Borough Social Enterprise and Co-operative Forum, an unincorporated co-operative ‘network’, run by our Members. We promote co-operatives and other businesses with a social purpose, working together to make the Borough - and the world - a better place.

You can be part of this by using Rochdale’s co-operatives and being actively involved, becoming a Member, having a say in what they do, and sharing the profits. Let’s make the Borough co-operative!
