The Royal Borough of Greenwich Co-operative Commission was launched in April 2024. Chaired by Lord Bassam of Brighton, it focuses on implementing co-operative principles in 3 main areas: 

  • supporting new and existing co-operative start-ups and businesses
  • social care
  • community energy

We've developed a long-term vision for the future of co-operative collaboration within the borough, applying a range of insights from experts in the sector. 

Following a public call for evidence, we heard presentations from expert witnesses and hosted meetings with a range of external organisations.

This comprehensive report titled includes 12 recommendations to advance co-operative principles and practices in Royal Greenwich.
