Alan Grieg is someone whom we respect greatly for his long commitment and insights to social enterprise and cooperative models in terms of business. Alan recently sent us a great report about Australia’s first community owned wind farm in Daylesford, Victoria, and the reference in the report about a new class of investor, namely the “community social enterprise investor” .

Incidentally, the Daylesford Wind Farm project has mobilised 1200 investors, mainly local people who have averaged $2000- $3000 each. It is a new phenomena in business.
Alan Greig has also shared with us the great social enterprise story of the West Belconnen Health Cooperative – a community owned answer to the corporate "super clinics" currently proposed by the Federal Government. This social enterprise has community owners starting at $10 -$50 able to access a suburban 'super clinic' that they own and operate as a community - the patients own the practice that hires the doctors! It now has 1200 members.

We would like to acknowledge the incredible contribution that Alan Greig has made to the Social Enterprise/Cooperative movement in Australia since the 1980s. To contact Alan email him at ahgreig@bigpond.com.
