Project: Diversity, community-owned business and Community Shares

Grant: £29,600

Ubele will identify the challenges and barriers that have led to the low uptake of community shares among Black and racially minoritised communities, whilst also working to identify examples of co-ops and CBSs that have started, completed, or struggled in a community share offer. The insights generated from the research will design a defined programme of work to support new Black and racially minoritised co-ops and mutuals.
