Of Six Pillars
Co-operatives UK and Rose Marley anchor the model. That means shared ownership, transparent decision-making, one-member-one-vote, and a structure built to protect the long-term interests of the people who make the work.
Members vote on direction, founding members and partners hold defined seats, and any surplus is reinvested into programming and access rather than extracted.
