Cooperation Town members reduce their food costs by approx £1300 a year. Collectively, members save around £1.7M a year on their household costs.
That’s almost £2M taken out of supermarkets profits and put back into neighbours pockets.

Individual Cooperation Town co-ops reduce costs by buying food in bulk for 20 households.
As a movement, we can reduce costs even further, by purchasing for 20 co-ops.
The bigger the movement, the greater our collective purchasing power. Simple.

Wanna start a community food co-op on your street or estate? We can help.

Our Gospel Oak Menopause Cafe is going punk this month!

Menopausal women have always been punk. Regarded by society as ‘difficult’, irrelevant and superfluous - and, in past times, as witches to be burned on the stake - older women often went underground and DIYed their lives.

Now that so many of our culture heroes hit the monopause, it’s time to come back to the surface and reclaim some space!

On Thusday, 30 July, Gospel Oak Menopause Cafe will host artist Abigail Hammond from the band Hot Flush for a workshop to rediscover our bodies, creativity and inner punks.

Free to all women identifying as Gospel Oak residents and Cooperation Town members of a certain age.

A team of volunteers from Tom Dixon designed and installed a bespoke watering system for today.
The new system will free up the gardening crew to focus on developing the garden and growing new crops.

The Learning Garden is part of our hub, where neighbours learn how to sow, plant, care for and harvest veg and herbs 12 months a year. It’s a calm and nourishing space for members of all ages and abilities.

Want to learn more about growing in the city? Visit our garden on Tuesdays & Fridays, 12noon-3pm.

Cooperation Arsenal is now accepting new members.
Come along to an open day on 22 July to meet the organisers and find out more.

Cooperation Arsenal is hosted at the Arsenal Community Hub at the Emirate Stadium on Wednesdays between 4-5:30.

It is a small neighbourhood buying group, providing members with affordable groceries, sourced in bulk.

Cooperation Arsenal is owned by its members, who decide collectively what to buy and are responsible for the day to day running of the co-op.

Join us if you live locally, keen to organise in your community and want to save money on your food shopping!

Cooperation Day 2026 is on this Saturday, 4 July between 11am-5pm at Cooperation Town Hub in Camden.

Open to experienced cooperators and the co-op curious.
Bring your questions, ideas and crew.

Sessions run simultaneously throughout the day, so make sure you book one session per time slot (some keen cooperators triple booked themselves!)

Free tickets on https://dandelion.events/e/cooperation-day-2026 (linked in bio).

Last Sunday we had our second Cooperators workshop of the year, where Cooperation Town members share issues from their co-ops and teach each other (and us!) new skills and organising tactics.
This time we tried out a new thing we invented: the Problemometer - members place issues in their co-op on the spectrum between ‘no problemo’ to ‘end of the world’ and we discuss them together. It was really fun and, once we talked about issues and shared practical ideas, members moved quite a few down the scale (as in, they’re not huge problems / there’s prob a simple solution).
We then did a little show and tell about co-op admin and members from different co-ops shared their rotas and money systems. It was great to see so many different local solutions to shared challenges - from a bespoke app developed by Cooperation Girdlestone to Cooperation Lismore’s piece of paper in a Tupperware full of cash.
The final session was ‘celebrating our successes’ and it was so lovely hearing from members about all the new skills, friendships and recipes they gained and about how proud they felt talking about their co-op 💖

Wanna feel some of that love (and save a ton of money on your shopping)? Join the moment!

Cooperation Tottenham has been organising since 2020 and is now taking on new members.
