About the CDA

Coventry and Warwickshire Co-operative Development Agency is a multi-disciplinary, not-for-profit organisation that aims to enable people to take a full part in economic life. CDA provides high quality, professional support to create and sustain businesses that involve their employees in ownership and management. CDA also supports community-based economic initiatives that enable people to take control of their economic lives. We aim to be leading advisers and consultants in employee ownership, people centred economic development and social enterprise.

All services are free and underpinning all CDA's work are its values and beliefs, which include a commitment to :

• Co-operative principles at the heart of all activity
• Local people, local economy, local networks
• Professionalism and excellence
• Equal opportunity in all aspects of our work

We believe that everyone should be given opportunity and capacity to participate in decisions which affect their lives at work and at home.

CDA implements a wide range of projects within Coventry and Warwickshire and is one of the largest co-operative development agencies in the country. The CDA staff team are highly innovative and have a proven track record in developing creative solutions and approaches to projects. CDA is actively involved in partnerships with many other organisations and agencies in Coventry and Warwickshire which allows us to address needs in the local community.
