How Daily Bread Became Involved with Strive
On his last outing before he died in 1981 Ernest Bader visited Daily Bread Co-operative Ltd., a new employee-owned business in Northampton. He was impressed and declared that Daily Bread should be "an even better Commonwealth than Scott Bader". He encouraged the members of Strive to make a link with this co-operative in which the working group accepted a commitment to give a significant percentage of their remuneration to causes outside the co-operative with special reference to Third World causes. So Daily Bread people became members of Strive and the co-operative covenanted part of its profits to Strive. As time has passed members of Dailybread have come to constitute a significant and active part of the membership of Strive.
