Network of Wholefood Worker Co-operatives

Network of Wholefood Workers' Co-operatives newsletters and magazines.

NOW is the Network of Wholefood Worker Co-operatives. It was established in 1986 by a number of wholefood co-ops who wished to establish a communication outlet with similar businesses. Membership covered all aspects of the wholefood trade, including retailing, manufacturing, wholesaling and catering. The network dissolved in 1993 due to lack of membership.

In October 2017, the National Co-operative Archive published a call-out for historic materials within the wider worker co-op community for Working Together , an Heritage Lottery Funded project seeking to record and preserve the heritage of the worker co-operative moment. This material was deposited from the Co-operative College in response to this call out.
