Hope in Practice: Our Stand at the Green Party Conference 2026

We were delighted to attend the Green Party Conference 2026, where we hosted a stand and connected with members, activists and community groups throughout the day. What stood out was the strong thread of hope running through the conference, a clear message that communities can lead the transition to a fairer, greener economy when they are given the tools and the power to do so. Conversations at our stand reflected that same energy: people were curious about co‑ops, eager for practical solutions, and genuinely inspired by models that put ownership and decision‑making back into local hands. It was a reminder that co‑operation and climate action are deeply aligned, and that the appetite for community‑led change is growing.
