Our heartfelt thanks go to the like-minded and community involved people who have helped us out during our start-up phase, and to everyone who has joined as a member and/or volunteered to help us to get to where we are today. It takes a community.
We also want to thank the following organisations and businesses for their assistance:
 | Castlemaine Institute. For auspicing the co-op – lending us their space for meetings, their bank account for the safekeeping of grants and donations and letting everyone know we are legit. |
 | Maldon and District Community Bank & MDFSL. For banking with a community heart and soul. The Community Bank – Maldon and District provided us with community partnership funding. The grant is being used to prepare the co-op’s first investment offer and obtain professional advice. |
 | Greengraphics. For great web advice and helping us set up our membership sign up page. |
| Kinyei. For walking the talk and enabling us to collaborate for change. Kinyei hosted a shared folder for us so we can work together on the many things we’ve read and written. | |
| mesparza.art Thank you Maria, for taking time out to help family and create the Co-op logo | |
 | Northern Arts Hotel. For providing us (and numerous other community groups) with a warm and welcoming meeting space. |
