Co-operative Development Scotland (CDS) on behalf of all Scotland’s enterprise agencies (Scottish Enterprise, Highlands & Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise), contributes to the Plural Ownership pillar of Community Wealth Builiding by supporting companies and community groups across Scotland that want to adopt an inclusive business model such as employee ownership or a co-operative.
Following the success of our Community Wealth Building programme delivered during 2023/24 where 362 delegates participated, we are delighted to confirm that we have planned another 3 CDS Plural Ownership webinars. These are 2.5hr online sessions will focus on co-operatives and employee-owned businesses. We have organised these additional sessions a result of continued interest / demand from colleagues. These webinars are aimed at front line business and community advisors, those with a policy and strategic role and other interested parties from across local authorities, the enterprise agencies and Third Sector Interfaces (TSIs).
