About this title

From the Back Cover

Foreword

When I first joined the Co-operative Party, I was aware of its proud history. i shared its conviction that social justice can best be achieved through co-operative action.

Throughout our history as a nation, the co-operative movement has not only provided services on which ordinary people rely, but has strengthened the very community bonds from which we flourish. Today the Co-operative Party's commitments in an interdependent world make its work more relevant than ever.

The Co-operative Party stands for social responsibility, for global decency and for people having a say in the running of their communities.

These are the values that I share. I wish the Co-operative Party well in its 90th year and I look forward to working closely with it in the future.

Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown MP
Prime Minister
