Working Groups
Cooperation Sheffield operates through a system of self-organising working groups, who feedback to each other and bring forward proposals into our biweekly meeting.
Click on the button below to view our list of current working groups. Get in contact and get involved! We’re always looking for more help, and we’re all learning as we go, so don’t be worried if you haven't done anything like this before.
events
We have a biweekly meeting at the Union Street coworking space which you can always come along to to get to know us and get stuck in. We also run assemblies, and other events such as movie screenings, facilitation training and more. For what’s coming up, see below!
