Description

John Atherton:

"Our vision is to grow a thriving network of worker co-ops in the UK. Individuals can put one pound a week into the fund and become a member. They get to vote with the other members on what we do with their money. This could be subsidising events, supporting members to visit each other, providing support to each other, developing new materials, or projects to promote worker cooperation.

Collaboration is really important to us, and that’s why we’re using Loomio. We have about 450 members from all over the UK. It’s very rare that we can get all our members together in one place.

Loomio provides a really good solution for members to get together online and make decisions, and for those decisions to be recorded. And for the whole process to be done in a very participative way." (http://blog.loomio.org/2016/08/15/solidfund/)
