<p>Students for Co-operation (<span class="null"><a
rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
href="http://www.students.coop" class="_553k">www.students.coop</a>)</span>
is a national federation of over 30 student co-operatives of
all shapes and sizes from across the UK - from bike
maintenance workshops, to volunteer-run veg-bag schemes, right
up to a 106-bed housing co-op.<br>
</p>
<p>We are having a day to discuss ideas on how student
cooperatives can better support one another logistically and
financially, how we can help new co-ops get started, and to
form national working groups to achieve these goals. This will
be a fantastic opportunity to learn from one another, make
useful contacts across our movement, and to help your
co-operative prosper. The programme so far includes a
Delegates Meeting, a facilitation training workshop, working
group organising, structured group discussions and a social.<br>
</p>
<p>The <b>Delegates Meeting</b> is the sovereign decision
making body of SfC. It is made up of two delegates from each
member student co-op. So please ensure your co-op sends at
least two people to ensure SfC is working for you! More
details are available <a

There is free accommodation available. This will be allocated on a

representing student co-ops, by distance to travel. If there is
not sufficient accommodation, we may change the itinerary to allow
more travelling time.
We will also be running a subsidised travel pool to help minimise
costs for those travelling from afar. Please approach your coop or
students' union first for funding travel costs!<br>
