What’s great about being a social investor?

• Knowing your money will do good. We vet every share offer that is sent out from the Co-op Angels list. We ensure that the co-operative principles are at the heart of the society.
• Without your help, the social economy would not grow. Every investment helps to change the world we live in.
• Support businesses you believe in. What you invest in is what the money will be spent on.

Since 2007, we’ve maintained a database of social investors (known as the Co-op Angels) willing to be approached by democratic social enterprises seeking investment. Co-op Angels have invested over three quarters of a million pounds to date, supporting co-operatives including GO-OP, Somerset Cooperative Community Land Trust, Woolhope Woodheat, Wedmore Community Power, Lightweight Community Transport and The Energy Saving Co-operative.
