The Co-op Local Community Fund supports projects that make a difference to local communities close to their stores and funeral homes. Thanks to their members, together we've helped raise an amazing £19 million for local causes across the UK since November 2017. The Co-op website estimates there will be around £12,500.00 to share between the 3 causes chosen in our community.
The Co-op will let you know if you're successful by October 2019. If you are you’ll be part of the Local Community Fund for 12 months - from 27th October 2019 to 24th October 2020. You'll receive your share of the funding in 2 payments - one in April 2020 and one in November 2020. New causes are chosen every 12 months.

How the fund works
The Co-op gives 1% of what members spend on Co-op branded food products in their stores and selected services, as well as money raised from sales of carrier bags and Co-op scratch cards, to local projects - from improving community spaces or helping young people learn life skills, to simply connecting people.
You can choose which cause your own 1% goes to. Any money raised by members who don’t select a cause is shared equally between the causes in their local area. Members can sign in to see the causes their local Co-op is supporting and choose which one they want their own money to go to.
Member benefits - 5% for you
When you buy selected products and services from the Co-op, including their food stores, they will put 5% of what you spend into your Co-op Membership account. You can spend it on most things you buy from them - not just Co-op products. Spend the money you've earned in rewards by showing your card or giving your membership number when you pay.
