Cwmpas is the UK’s largest co-operative development agency.

As a co-operative, we’re guided by an active community of members who shape our strategic direction, scrutinise our activities, increase our influence and ensure that we’re a voice for the social economy in Wales.

• Use co-operative products and services wherever possible
