Governance
Foundations are important in any plan, and so the foundation on which the Co-op was built started this way.
Plan
- The Co-op should be community based, manned and organised.
- It should aim at developing and encouraging private product development.
- It should have a social, and food supply service all year round, all local supply where possible.
- It should aim to grow steadily within its present budget whilst developing rapor and reliability
- within the communites it serves.
- All profits should go back into the growth of the service, until established.
- All products to be of nutritional value and of benefit to good health options.
- The business should be low stress, high impact.
- It is the aim to beat winter depression in our communities.
- A percentage of profits to be shared yearly amongst its members upon establishing membership options, and optimum business development. That is after we are established.
