Fly The Coop is a brand new, non-profit co-operative focused on improving co-working and collaboration amongst freelancers and micro- businesses in Manchester's digital sector.
Co-working as a concept aims to bring like-minded people together to share ideas and collaborate. Fly The Coop hopes to add into the mix the benefits of providing flexible, convenient working spaces with all profit being reinvested back into the project's goals.
Formed by local digital sector entrepreneurs for fellow Mancunians fed up working from their homes, coffee shops and "borrowed" spaces, its objectives are lofty: sustainable, cost-effective working environments that help all participants realise their potential.
Right now, they're seeking opinions on what co-working in Manchester should look like in detail and want your help. If you're a soul trader, freelancer, micro-business or start-up (or soon will be) they'd be grateful for the 10 minutes of your time it takes to fill in this survey: http://tinyurl.com/5e3es7
