Who We Are

The main thing we are is people:
• 1200 employees
• 650 people we support
• 1000s of friends, family members and supporters


As a multi-stakeholder co-operative, we are able to invite all these wonderful people to work together with the shared aim of building local communities and making Cartrefi as good a support provider as it can be.

Membership is voluntary, and we respect and value all our people, whether they are members or not. But membership offers a great opportunity for people to come together in local Co-op Forums, to share their talents and ideas, and to make decisions as equals.

Cartrefi’s constitution puts our members at the top of the structure, through a Council of elected Member Representatives.
