The FairShares Association advocates vibrant communities in which adults become co-owners of the organisations on which they depend for work, consumer goods and public services. As barriers to ownership are minimised, so the values of mutuality, trust and reciprocity will take root, strengthening the community and eliminating poverty.
Members share a mission to protect and promote the FairShares Brand through the application of Co-operative Values and Principles in the development of the FairShares Model by specialist consultants, companies and co-operatives.
