  • Impact

What makes a community? Investing in what matters, together.

​Our reason for being isn’t driven by delivering quarterly profits to a select group of shareholders. As a co-operative, our business model is built on a foundation of creating impact. Together, we’re investing in what matters - our members and the communities we share.

Explore the impact you’re making, just by being a member.
