At Co-op, it all comes back to you

Welcome to your Ownership Hub! As a co-operative, we provide our members with everything they need to play their full part in the business they own. Find the latest updates and activities on the issues you care about the most, as well as resources for you to download and use.

Doing right by you because we're owned by you in 2026

Our 7m members belong to the UK’s largest consumer co-operative.

The £1 you spend to join us is your piece of our business, and the stores and funeral homes on your corner are where local teams are at the heart of your community for what you need, when you need it.

Over the last year, thousands of our member owners shared their views and ideas on the challenges they face. We heard you and this year, we will be backing customers, members, businesses and communities in Britain with our products, services and co-operative difference.

Below are the four areas we'll be working with and for you on in 2026. Keep checking back for the latest opportunities and updates on these themes.

Value, quality and convenience for member owners

On your corner, in your corner in Britain’s communities

British sourcing, ethics and sustainability

Skills and opportunities to thrive in Britain

What is a co-op?

Tom Laing, member of the Co-op Young Members’ Group and Co-op National Members’ Council, tells us more about what a co-op is, the different kinds of co-ops out there, and what makes them all unique.

Look back and ahead with your Co-op

In the first six months of 2025, we grew our member numbers, planned for the future and navigated external challenges.

Find out how we co-operated to build more value for our member owners every day in 2024.

There’s something different about Co-op products and services

From being the first UK retailer to source 100% British fresh and frozen own-brand protein, to becoming the first UK retailer to move to 100% British own-brand strawberries for the summer in 2025, we’re committed to farmers and growers in Britain.

Our member owners asked us to go even further with our animal welfare commitments. Now, all fresh, breaded and ready-to-eat chicken has 20% more space in barns as part of our ‘Space to thrive’ programme.

Together with you, our member owners, we’ve been championing Fairtrade for over 30 years. To celebrate three decades of support, we launched a Fairtrade chocolate bar inspired by member owners just like you.

Co-op is the only supermarket with an own brand charity water. Every time you buy Co-op water, you’re protecting farmers and supply chains and helping The One Foundation provide access to clean water around the world.

Member owners tested a new tool to help others protect what matters most - their home, money and family. Your feedback and insight was used to enhance the service for the benefit of our member owners and broader customers.

We work with and for you

100 Co-op Member Owners from around the UK are your representatives on Co-op's National Members' Council. They meet throughout the year to champion what you care about with leaders and decision-makers and help our businesses meet your needs.

Throughout the UK, our network of Member Activators raise awareness of our membership and work closely with Co-op Members and other colleagues to deliver initiatives on the issues that matter most in our communities.

Young members have been influencing and shaping decisions at Co-op through our Co-op Young Members’ Group (CYMG) since 2013.

Over 40,000 member owners asked for help with the cost of living and more affordable, healthy options. That's why we've been price-matching everyday essentials to Aldi and we're keeping it going.

We've also made it easier than ever to make healthy choices, just look for our new 'YES' icon on over 300 Co-op products or try a real taste of Asian cuisine with the latest in our 'Served' range.

2025 was the second UN International Year of Co-ops. As part of empowering you, we showcased how co-operatives build a better world together.
