We're working in partnership with the Centre for Democratic Business, thanks to funding from The Co-operative Bank, to deliver a series of FREE webinars to discover co-ops.

The arts and cultural industries contribute approximately £124 billion – or 5% – to the UK economy every year. Yet there are plenty of challenges for people within this sector – with squeezed funding, digitisation, and unstable freelance work, sustaining careers, spaces, and opportunities can be a challenge.  

That’s where co-ops can help. They can empower creativity, create work opportunities, preserve vital spaces and provide support that empowers individuals to thrive within their chosen field of work. Find out how the co-operative model is making a difference.

Speakers:

• Two Queens (Dan Kelly): A community owned, artist-run gallery and studios supporting Leicester’s creative scene

• Creative Co-op (Ben Philp): A worker-owned creative agency specialising in ethical branding, design, and digital solutions

The free webinar will be taking place online on July 15, 10:30 - 12:00 online.
