Development dot Coop

Development dot Coop (www.development.coop) is a free resource for Co-operative Development Practitioners (CDPs) wherever they may be living or working.  A free “holding page” is available to any CDP who registers.  Your holding page would be a separate sub-domain – for example “www.yourname.development.coop”.  The holding page can simply point to your own web site, or it can be expanded to be your own dedicated web site.

Our ambition is to strengthen the CD (Co-op Development) sector and bring specialist services to areas of the UK and elsewhere that may not already benefit from them.

BUILDING BACK BETTER:

Our vision for Co-op development

Our network of co-operative development practitioners exists to help your society succeed. Together, our experience is unrivalled.
For specific, relatively small scale initiatives, we'll signpost you to your nearest Practitioner.
For larger scale or very early stage thinking, as a network we can treat every project with a unique approach and fresh thinking. We also develop new ideas that can be introduced in almost any town – a current focus is on co-operative development hubs.
