The National Guild of Co-operators was set up in 1926 to create one national adult co-operative auxiliary of men and women in addition to the Womens' Co-operative Guild and National Co-operative Men's Guild that were auxiliary groups exclusive to women and men. The first annual conference of the Guild took place in Nottingham in 1927.
The National Guild of Co-operators was arranged into regional branches. Hyde Branch was one of these.
