Terms, Conditions and Privacy
Chorlton Community Cooperative is a voluntary, non-profit currently being incorporated. The cooperative is being set up by people from local groups including Chorlton Alliance, Chorlton Community Land Trust, Chorlton and District Co-ops, Let’s Reimagine Our Chorlton, Our Green Chorlton, Unity Arts, Chorlton Traders, Our Streets Chorlton, Unicorn Grocery and others. The aim is to help make Chorlton a better, kinder, greener, healthier and more prosperous place.
This site is intended to assist that aim by providing a place for news, call-outs, volunteering opportunities and local what’s-on guide.
Listings – Groups, Projects and Events
- We will list community, voluntary and other special interest groups, organisations and events free of charge as part of a community directory.
- Groups, projects and events should be based / active / take place in Chorlton (Manchester M21) or its immediate local area, accessible from Chorlton.
- Listed groups, projects and events should be aligned with cooperative values as stated at the International Cooperative Alliance (ica.coop), namely self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.
- You do not need to be a member of Chorlton Community Cooperative for your group, project or event to be listed (but we’d love it if you were!).
