Membership is open to the people we support, our employees, and community supporters. We have democratic structures that ensure members have a strong voice and real control.
All members are encouraged to contribute and are valued for their time, talents, and community connections. We promote self-help and independence, both for individuals and for our organisation.
We believe in the importance of learning and education to empower our members as co-operators and community builders, helping us all to make Cartrefi the best it can be.
We enjoy collaborating with other co-operatives and any agency committed to the public good, as we care deeply about our communities.
Being co-operative strengthens us in all these aspects, and retaining our charitable status ensures that our priority remains the people we support.
