Labour's First Budget Since 2010: Key Insights for Co-operatives

The long-awaited budget has been unveiled. Here’s a quick look at the highlights from through a co-operative lens:

Co-operative Growth in the Small Business Strategy
We’re excited that the government has included co-operative growth in the Small Business Strategy for 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for our sector, and we’re committed to ensuring every voice is heard. Stay tuned for our Co-operative Growth Strategy, coming in January 2025!

Community Investment for Renewable Projects
To make the most of the £100 million allocated for renewable projects next year, we need to mobilize community investment at scale. Our expertise in this area is vital. We also recommend that the government adopts the innovative retrofit co-operative model for the Warm Homes Programme to ensure maximum impact—and we’re here to help!

Support for Small Co-operatives
The measures to protect small co-operatives from increases in business rates and National Insurance contributions will be a much-needed relief for many. Did you know that new co-operatives are more than twice as likely to survive their first five years? Continued support for new-starts and smaller members is crucial for their success.

Tackling Retail Crime
We applaud the government’s commitment to addressing retail crime, a longstanding issue championed by The Co-op. Check out The Co-op’s 10-point plan to curb retail crime and violence here: Read the plan: https://buff.ly/4fmXNsp
