Being a staff-owned and led co-op is a unique privilege - whether lifeguards, librarians or senior managers. People don’t just work here, they grow with the business. Because profits are reinvested back into services and the people who make them happen: brnw.ch/21wTW2M
People need culture, sport, exercise and good health outcomes. Together with our partners, we help deliver what matters most - improving lives, not chasing profit. That’s the co-operative difference: brnw.ch/21wTVGW #IYC2025 #CoopHeroes
We’re here to help protect the environment and resources by reducing emissions, promoting greener choices, supporting economic sustainability, and ensuring our customers and communities continue to access services that protect their wellbeing: brnw.ch/21wTUWM #CoopHeroes

For us, the co-operative doesn't just combine the qualities of a business, it supercharges staff, which brings a real passion and drive to make things work and a deep commitment to people, the planet and protecting public services: brnw.ch/21wTRIj #IYC2025 #CoopHeroes
We’re proud to be a staff-owned co-op putting purpose before profit. This #CooperativeFortnight, we’re backing the call to deliver more public services through co-ops - ethical, sustainable, people-powered. Let’s build stronger, fairer communities: youtu.be/Q6fXgCeEWFo
We’re powered by people. A staff-owned co-op that puts purpose before profit. Over the next 2 weeks, we’ll meet some of our #CoopHeroes and celebrate the difference co-ops make through: 🤝 Working together 🗳️ Sharing decisions 🌍 Putting communities & the planet first #IYC2025
