In Conclusion – Our experiences to date
Where possible support the membership to promote and drive the services
Be patient and designate appropriate resources.
To be effective do not try to provide all the services internally – seek expertise
To be truly effective and sustainable Co-operative Living must be collaborative
Think holistically – move beyond bricks and mortar
The needs of our communities must to be at the heart of all decisions
