Your group or organisations can join the CQ Co-op for £25. Individuals and small groups can be Supporters for £10…
Children’s Quarter is a cooperative with Members that are independent autonomous groups or organisations delivering a diverse range of community services for children, young people and their families. Membership of Children’s Quarter does not restrict how organisations function under their existing operational, structural and accountability framework. Members are, however, unified by a shared ethos as described by the vision, mission, values and principles that define Children’s Quarter.
Benefits of Belonging
Members benefit from consortium bids and cooperative fundraising; access to shared staff and resources; a louder voice and campaigning infuence in issues of shared concern; and the support and opportunities for informal learning that comes from being part of the club. More about the benefits of belonging.
Groups and Organisations
Charities, schools, local authorities and public agencies, non-profit organisations and associations, NGOs, trusts, community groups, branches of national and international non-profits, community interest companies, businesses with a social conscience and, of course, other cooperatives, anywhere in the world, can join Children’s Quarter as Members so long as your group or organisation:
- aspires to, advocates for and commits to social inclusion for ALL children and young people
- wants to collaborate with others to achieve it.
