The unprecedented impact of Covid-19 on communities throughout the UK has meant that councils have had to respond in swift and innovative ways. The government’s initial centralised, Whitehall driven response was insufficient in getting support to those people who needed it quickly and effectively. Local government mobilised quickly to fill that gap.

For Co-operative Councils this played to their strengths and brought to the fore the values of community leadership, co-production and social value. 

In October 2019 we launched our latest publication ‘CCIN Action Learning: Co-operation through Covid-19’, which describes the Co-operative Council response to the pandemic and thanks to you we will be promoting this publication at this Fringe. 

The publication is divided into three sections: Response, Recovery and Resilience and each speaker will talk about one Case Study from that publication which can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/CCIN-Covid
