They are really co-operatives. You can join the biggest co-operative here [1]. I used to be a member (before I left the UK), and before the financial crisis I was sent a £10-or-so dividend each year. Some years there’s been no dividend, when the money has been invested in the business. Members also vote for the board.
This one is smaller, just for the East of England [2], but has paid a dividend this year.
