Our Projects

The Wales Co-operative Centre delivers several major projects in Wales:
 

Social Enterprise and Co-operative Support
 

The Social Enterprise Support project provides advice and training to co-operatives, social enterprises and social entrepreneurs in Convergence areas of Wales, so that they can become successful and sustainable businesses.
