Blog not bulletin

In the Spotlight used to be a monthly e-bulletin. But co-operatives do so much good stuff that by the time the bulletin went out, the stories were old news. Hence this new blog. In the Spotlight is updated as soon as there's a story to tell or a co-operative hits the headlines.

To make sure you're getting the news as it happens keep checking this blog - even better subscribe. And why not get involved too - send your news, comment on posts, link this blog to your website and follow twitter updates.

Co-operatives to organise organics debate


Unicorn Grocery and the Kindling Trust are to hold an event - Global Crisis: Organic Response - featuring key food activists from the organic movement. It will be an evening that looks at why organic production is not seen as a more crucial element of our response to climate change and the impact of the economic crisis.
It will feature presentations and question time with Patrick Holden, Director of The Soil Association; Susanne Padel, Research Associate of The University of Wales; Lawrence Woodward, Director of Elm Farm Organic Research Centre.

The event is at the Mechanics Institute, Manchester, on Monday 27th April, 6.30 to 9.3o. Free entry.
