Co-operatives Wales is the representative body (Regional Co‑operative Council) for the wider Co-operative movement in Wales, and the National/Regional arm of Co‑operativesUK.
Also known as Co-operatives & Mutuals Wales, the organisation is self-financed and relies on a small team of active co-operators, and is gradually re-inventing itself as a mutual support network for individual co-operative activists, and co-operatives.
