EVERYDAY PARTICIPATION
A toolkit for the cooperative movement
As co-operatives and community businesses,
we are fundamentally participatory organisations. It's in our DNA.
Since 2017 New Citizenship Project (NCP) have been working with four leading organisations to explore the Future of the Co-operative Movement, and more specifically what true participatory membership could look like. Following a eight-month process with The Co-op Group, Nationwide, Lincolnshire Co-op and Phone Co-op, and supported by Co-operatives UK, NCP have designed and developed an Everyday Participation toolkit, which was launched in March 2018. Outlining the Seven Modes of Everyday Participation, and offering case study examples and idea generation prompts, this toolkit aims to help organisations harness Everyday Participation with members - whether they are customers, workers or both - offering them simple but significant ways to contribute on a day-to-day basis.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAID ABOUT #EVERYDAYPARTICIPATION
Great experience and eye-opener. Provided the vision and support needed in order to make it clear the direction that the co-operative movement needs to go.
The Co-op Group
Taking part in this project gave use the renewed focus and confidence that participation is the key to building a thriving membership and as a mutual society is still core to our purpose.
Nationwide
Along with rolling out our new purpose and approach, we are really starting to consider 'everyday participation' as a means to delivering 'bringing together ideas, energy and resources to make life better in our communities'.
