The Community Investment Handbook is a guide for communities looking to establish co-operative enterprises that serve their needs and aspirations.
It explains how cooperatives function as self-help organisations governed by national legislation, with the ability to raise funds similarly to companies.
The handbook offers guidance for communities interested in forming cooperatives to create their own circular economy, as well as information for practitioners about the regulatory environment for cooperative fundraising.
