Abstract
This article reports on the proceedings of a webinar on home care co-operatives, organised by the Centre for Co-operative Studies, University College Cork, in association with the UK Society for Co‑operative Studies and the Society for Co-operative Studies in Ireland. It gives an account of two co-operatives whose foundational purpose is to organise and deliver home care in a way that prioritises, respects, and empowers those who give and receive care. This is followed by a report on key themes that emerged in the panel discussion.
