Cooperation Birmingham is using Open Collective to administer financial transactions. Co-op funds are held by The Social Change Nest, who manage our account in a transparent, reliable and accountable way. Funds are anticipated from private donations, members’ subs and contributions from other organisations.

Co-op organisers are responsible for authorising expenses, raised by submitting an invoice or a receipt. All transactions are noted in the co-op budget and on the Open Collective platform.

Payments will be made weekly on Thursdays, once they have been approved by a Co-op Organiser, and made directly to a bank account to avoid incurring transaction fees

Expenses must include a valid receipt or invoice, clearly showing the total amount spent, date, and details of the expense.
