Celebrating Coop Fortnight: Why Scotmid is proud to cooperate and change the world

Co-op Fortnight is officially underway across the UK, and at Scotmid, we are thrilled to champion this year's inspiring theme: "Co-operate and we can change the world." Running from late June through early July, this annual celebration shines a spotlight on the unique power of the cooperative movement and the incredible impact of businesses that put people before profit.

As Scotland’s largest independent cooperative, Scotmid has spent over 160 years embedding itself in the fabric of local communities. For us, cooperation is not just a business model; it is our defining purpose. From funding grassroots projects to supporting families through life’s most sensitive moments via Scotmid Funerals, our values guide everything we do. We are immensely proud to be part of a global movement that encourages democracy, fairness, and shared success.

To mark Co-op Fortnight, we have made a video featuring heartfelt responses from our dedicated team. Here, some members of our Scotmid funerals’ team got in front of the camera to share how they feel Scotmid’s promise to provide support to the local communities they serve every day encourages them to do likewise, and help Scotmid achieve its goals to strengthen its ties with local organisations and co-operate with the communities they are proud to serve.
