During the second week of Co-operatives Fortnight, Somerset Co-operative Services is organising 2 Co-operative Business Breakfasts to facilitate networking between local co-operatives, sharing information and ideas, exploring how we can help and support each other and celebrating Co-operatives Fortnight!

The Business Breakfasts will be held in Crewkerne 1st July 9am to 10am at Somerfield,  Falkland Square, Crewkerne TA187JS, and Taunton on 2nd July 9.30 to 10.30am at Makers Craft Co-operative, 6 Bath Place, Taunton, TA1 4ER. A big co-operative Thank You to Makers and The Co-operative for hosting what we hope will be beginning of a continuing programme of co-operative networking events in Somerset.

Co-operatives Fortnight is a call for people to do things differently – to work together as individuals, colleagues, communities and businesses. There is an alternative. Be co-operative. Whether you're in a co-operative already or new to the whole idea, Co-operatives Fortnight is an opportunity to be more co-operative.

From 19th June to 3rd July, up and down the country, co-operatives will be promoting their work, neighbours will be working together, businesses will be trying new things and people will be talking about the co-operative alternative.

Co-operation is good for people, good for communities and good for business. By being more co-operative for Co-operatives Fortnight, together we can show that there is an alternative.

Join in, be inspired, be co-operative!
