Care Co-operatives in Ireland and the UK: A model for designing and delivering home care that respects and empowers care recipients, family carers and care workers.

This is a recording of a webinar hosted by the Centre for Co-operative Studies, University College Cork, in association with the Society for Co-operative Studies in Ireland (SCSI) and the UK Society for Co-operative Studies (UKSCS), to foster awareness and understanding of the potential of the co-operative model to address key societal challenges during the UN International Year of Co-operatives, 2025.

The first cohort has completed a co-operative governance training programme by UCC and Tirlán to support member leadership within the co-op.

A celebratory day for the new graduates of the MSc!

Global Money Week (March 17th-23rd, 2025) is a global initiative led by the OECD to promote financial awareness among young people. To support this, Dr. Olive McCarthy has collaborated with partners to develop a series of five short financial literacy videos, funded by SOLAS. Covering key topics like budgeting, saving, and financial fraud, these resources aim to equip young adults with essential money management skills.
