About the Solidarity Economy Association:
The Solidarity Economy Association is a small, worker-led co-operative based in England, Scotland and Wales, working to overcome capitalism by building up the solidarity economy from below.
For Solidarity is an ongoing project to share learnings about solidarity economies and to help grow a peer support network of grass roots organisations, projects, initiatives and individuals in the region who are offering alternatives to the extractive mainstream economic system. Our belief is that we are stronger together.
The project was initiated in 2019 by The NewBridge Project and the Solidarity Economy Association.
