Business for Good West Yorkshire Study Visit Programme 2024

Background

During Co-op Fortnight 2024 Stir to Action in partnership with Co-operatives UK invited people to visit and learn from an exciting range of co-operatives across West Yorkshire. The study visit programme formed part of the Business for Good West Yorkshire partnership – an 18-month programme of accelerators, business coaching, and other training free specialist support to help people start or grow organisations that help make communities in West Yorkshire into better places to live and work.

The visits allowed participants to meet the founders and workers, and find out about how they got started, their growth model, where they get business support, how they make decisions as a democratic business, their routes to finance, and how they connect their business model to social purpose.

Included cooperatives were:

• Suma Wholefoods, Elland HX5 9DB

• Headingley Enterprise & Arts Centre, Leeds LS6 3HN

• Horton Community Farm, Bradford BD7 3BW

• Leeds Bread Co-op, Leeds LS7 2AW – Monday 1st July

• Hebden Bridge Town Hall, Hebden Bridge HX7 7BY – Tuesday 2nd July

• Holmfirth Tech, 140 Huddersfield Rd, Holmfirth HD9 3AR – Friday 5th July
