The Mayor of London has partnered with Co-operatives UK and Power to Change to support community businesses in Greater London. 

Are you new or existing community businesses that are planning to launch a community share offer by the end of December 2021?

“Community businesses are run by local people for local people. There are many types of community business. What they all have in common is that they are inclusive and give decision making power to local people and that the profits they generate flow back into the community to deliver a positive local impact.

Support available for groups looking to:

• revive and take ownership of local assets. This could be to create community hubs or projects helping to revive high streets
• protect the services in their local area that people rely on, and address local needs.”
