Our Statement of Values and Principles

Policy Prototypes are allocated between £1k – £2k, contributing to smaller projects that members may want to deliver in their locality on behalf of the Network. This could be anything from delivering a new cooperative campaign to developing a cooperative app to help residents access services differently. 

We’d expect the majority of Policy Prototypes to have completed their work within 9 months.
