Hi All

Shameless plug time! Co-op & Community Finance, or ICOF as many will be familiar, have just launched a share offer to raise more capital to on-lend to Co-ops and Community Businesses. We are using ICOF Community Capital (ICC) a society established in 1994 to raise £500k through community shares.

This might be relevant to P6 https://www.purpose-us.com/writing/iso - you could probably provide some useful input to the research...

The LUCOOP project that we participated in, which brought together a group of academics with interests in cooperation and cooperatives, along with some cooperative practitioners, with some in both camps, produced as one project output a set of three booklets looking at different aspects of organising. Under the banner of 'Re-organise' the booklets look at Power, Strategy, and Governance. Get your copies from https://www.dogsection.org/product/re-organise-power
