SUMMARY:🌎 Exploring Mutual or Cooperative Ownership: Peer to Peer Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Considering or preparing your business for mutual or cooperative ownership? This programme is for you.\nMutual and cooperative businesses are becoming increasingly popular in the UK\, largely because—when set up well—they are highly resilient. These models can work equally well for new start-ups or as part of a business succession plan for established organisations. \n \nFor new businesses\nA cooperative or mutual model enables shared ownership\, democratic decision-making\, and strong stakeholder engagement. It builds trust and long-term focus\, aligns incentives between members and the business\, supports fair value distribution\, and encourages commitment\, innovation\, and sustainability from the outset. \nFor existing businesses\nAs a succession option\, a mutual model helps preserve long-term purpose by prioritising members over shareholders. It supports continuity\, employee engagement\, and cultural stability\, reduces the risk of asset stripping\, and enables a gradual\, values-led transfer of ownership while maintaining independence\, resilience\, and sustainable growth. \nIf you are unsure whether this model is right for your business—or how to approach setting up or transitioning to it—we can help. \nWe have recently delivered a series of highly regarded peer-to-peer activities designed to reduce isolation among small business owners and managers. These sessions have led to tangible innovation and productivity improvements\, as participants learn from trusted peers and build strong\, relevant local networks. Many participants also told us that day-to-day pressures often keep them working in their business rather than on it. The sessions provided valuable time and space to step back\, build confidence and resilience\, and gain practical insights from others facing similar challenges. \nBuilding on this positive feedback\, we are now extending the programme and bringing together a cohort of small and medium-sized business owners and managers who want to explore setting up or transitioning to a mutual or cooperative business. \nProgramme aims\nThe aim of the group is to harness collective experience to help participants: \n\nUnderstand the benefits of mutual and cooperative business models\nMake informed decisions about structure and approach\nDevelop scalable\, sustainable\, and profitable mutual or cooperative businesses\nMinimise risk\nAccess additional support and expertise\n\nWhy join?\nSetting up a cooperative or mutual business can seem attractive—but is it right for you? This programme will help you understand whether this approach fits your goals and what is involved in making it work effectively. \nHow will it work?\nThe programme runs over six weeks and includes six two-hour facilitated group sessions. Participants will explore opportunities and challenges together\, using collective experience to broaden options\, make informed decisions\, and take practical action. \nEach session is led by an experienced SME owner. Discussions are non-competitive\, confidential\, and supportive\, creating a safe environment where participants can explore ideas openly and without judgement. \nAfter each session\, delegates will receive: \n\nA concise session summary\nPractical tools and checklists to support further thinking and application\n\nThese resources can be used at a pace that suits your business. In addition\, each delegate is entitled to two hours of one-to-one coaching with the programme facilitator. \nWhat will be covered?\nDiscussion topics will be shaped by the group but may include: \n\nUnderstanding mutual and cooperative models: options\, benefits\, challenges\, and beneficiaries\nBusiness planning: vision\, strategy\, and member value propositions\nBusiness structure: ownership and governance\nPeople and operations\nFinancial planning: capital requirements and funding options\nLegal and regulatory considerations\nMember engagement and participation\nAvailable help and support\n\nPeer group discussions and coaching sessions are also open to any specific issues participants wish to explore. \nPlaces are limited for each cohort.\nIf you would like to benefit from shared experience\, practical support\, and expert facilitation\, we encourage you to book early to secure your place. \nWhere and When \nThis programme will be delivered weekly online via Zoom\, on Wednesdays from 10am – 12pm. \n\nWorkshop 1 | Wednesday 18 March\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 2 | Wednesday 25 March\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 3 | Wednesday 1 April\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 4 | Wednesday 8 April\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 5 | Wednesday 15 April\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 6 | Wednesday 22 April\, 10am – 12pm\n\nRegister now

SUMMARY:🌍 Carbon Literacy for SMEs Course: Online
DESCRIPTION:Who is this course designed for?\nIndividuals or teams working within Small & Medium Sized Businesses (SMEs) within the York & North Yorkshire regions. This is a great opportunity to learn\, with colleagues and peers\, about the causes and impacts of Climate Change as well as the actions SMEs can put in place to reduce emissions and help secure a Net Zero future. \n \nCourse Objectives\n1. Establish Climate Change Fundamentals: \nWherever you are on your climate journey\, deep-dive into the causes & impacts of our Anthropocene climate crisis to understand key emissions drivers and put the fire in the belly for climate action\, personally & professionally. What is the greenhouse effect? What are the greenhouse gases and which are most potent? Why are we so confident in the science? What are the impacts of climate change on people & planet? \n2. Understand Climate Policy & Protest: \nWhat is the global policy landscape on climate and what’s happening in the UK and likely to impact SMEs? We’ll talk about COPs (Conference of the Parties – not police!)\, the UK Climate Change Act of 2008\, the UK Decarbonisation Plan\, Sustainability Reporting & legislation for SMEs. This section is designed to give you understanding of how we got to where we are today and how the future might shape\, through the lens of policy. We will also reflect on the role of protest in shaping the past\, current & future climate change landscape.  Both are important grounding for individuals & businesses. \n3. Destigmatise Climate Goals & Measurement: \n“What gets measured gets done!” Learn the lingo of Net Zero & Carbon Footprinting\, at an individual and organisational level. What does it mean to pledge to Net Zero? How does that differ from Carbon Neutral? Should we be offsetting? What do we mean by Scope 1\, 2 & 3? Where do I start?! \n4. Take Climate Action as an Individual \nLooking at our own personal footprints through the lens of the WWF Carbon Footprint Tool and our own key levers of change. \n5. Take Climate Action as an Employee & Business \nLooking at the 7 SME Steps to Net Zero\, from leadership engagement to building a climate transition plan. This will help tackling climate change and emissions as an organisation and employee seem more feasible\, approachable\, logical and bitesize for SMEs\, giving clarity on where to start and the stepping stones on the journey to Net Zero. \n6. Become a Confident Climate Communicator & Collaborate \nExploring what it takes as an individual and as an organisation to talk confidently about climate change and climate action and how to positively influence others\, touching on impact reports\, social media\, websites\, tone of voice & good old fashioned face to face conversations.  We’ll touch on the important role of collaboration in progressing climate action – together we go further & faster. \n  \nCourse Outline\nThe course is split into 2 distinct sections. The first half of the course focuses on understanding climate change\, policy and frameworks. The second half focuses on what this means for SMEs and employees in building a climate action plan. \n\nCourse Details\n📍 Online | MS Teams \n📆 Wednesday 18 & Thursday 19 March \n🕑 9am – 1pm (both days) \n  \nCertification\nAt the end of the training course\, we will invite you to pledge 2 actions\, one as an individual and one as part of a wider group. These action pledges must be submitted within 2 weeks of completing your course in order to be certified Carbon Literate & be awarded your shiny certificate. Please note\, you are not guaranteed certification. Certification is awarded to individuals who are deemed to have pledged significant individual and group actions. But don’t worry\, we will support you to find the right and significant actions for you. \n  \nAbout the Trainer\nAli Fisher founded Plans With Purpose in 2017 with a mission to put regeneration at the heart of business progress.
