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!).
  • We reserve the right to refuse listings, but will provide a reason for doing so.
  • You are responsible for the content and accuracy of your listings, so please do check they meet your requirements.  
  • By submitting information about a group or project, you are confirming that you are authorised to do so on behalf of that group/project.
  • We list on a goodwill basis and as such, cannot be held responsible for errors, omissions or incorrect information. If you would like changes or updates, contact us and we will make them as soon as we can. (We hope to move towards a system whereby event/project owners can edit and update their own content in the future.)
  • If attending an event, we always recommend that you always check with organisers before travelling. We will provide links or contact details on the website for this purpose wherever possible.
  • We cannot be held responsible for cancelled, postponed events or events that otherwise aren’t as published. Likewise we cannot be held responsible for money paid for tickets, entry or other purposes.
