Co-op Congress 2023 | Social care – how to fix a broken market
Channel: Co-operatives UK
Date: 2023-07-11

At Co-op Congress 2022, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, alongside Co-operatives UK CEO Rose Marley and Champion of the Fair Care Mark, Cheryl Barrott, invited co-operatives from across the country to share challenges and opportunities in social care. Delegates will hear from Rose Marley about the work that has been undertaken over the past 12 months, including research on worldwide co-operative solutions and the potential for a ground-breaking pilot. Greater Manchester has the greatest devolved powers in the north of England and the second largest Integrated Care Board in the country. Co-operatives disrupt and fix broken markets, so in terms of a social care pilot taking place in Greater Manchester - home to Co-op Group (the UK's biggest co-operative) - the question posed by Andy Burnham is "what are we waiting for?". https://www.uk.coop/congress
