Bath Cooperative Alliance is a non-party grass roots organisation.

We promote all forms of cooperative enterprise that enable people to take more control over their work, quality of life and environmental impact.

We support community ownership of land, buildings, natural resources and finance in order to better use them for the common good and the welfare of the planet.
