Hi and thanks for wanting to join this unique, shiny new Co-op.
I think it's worth saying up front I think this is an exciting project, breaking new territory (well, as far as the research industry goes) that's going to be a fun, roller coaster ride! Together we've got a chance to change how businesses and government engage with ordinary people (us). And in a way that both sides win.
You'll get your say to help organisations (from commercial and government sectors) with some of your great ideas, and your community with some much needed cash. And because we are a Co-op, owned and run by the community we serve, we think organisations will listen to what you say and believe it, because they know it's from the horse's mouth. And that means we create real value for them and they will come back for more resulting in you and your community getting some much needed cash.
THERE IS NO OTHER COMMUNITY DATA RESEARCH COOPERATIVE WE KNOW OF. YOU'RE PART OF A GROUND BREAKING INITIATIVE.
MADE IN CUMBRIA!
We don't think there is much not to like here but please bear with us in these early days as we will need a bit of time to listen, learn and adapt as we go...so hang onto your hats!
And as our journey unfolds if there are any ways you think you can help then please get in touch - we need all the help we can get!
In the meantime the tiny team here (for the time being) look forward to working on your behalf.
