We need individuals and businesses from Eastbourne and the surrounding areas to help build our caring and supportive community - to forge a fair and equitable society that can continue to operate without restriction or discrimination. Join our cooperative and enjoy the benefits. We would love to offer free membership, but as a registered business - we have administrative fees, website hosting fees, venue fees, resource fees, etc... that must be funded in order to run. We are run by hard-working volunteers and any profit the co-operative makes will go directly back to building more resources for our members.
Do make sure your read the ABOUT US section, which explains so much about what ECCo-op is doing.
