Co-op Local Community Fund - Choose a Local Cause

Where would you like your community reward to go?

Co-op membership - supporting local causes

The Co-op Local Community Fund supports projects across the UK that its members care about, helping communities come together, co-operate and make a difference.

Thanks to its members, the fund has raised £39,655 for causes close to Upchurch.

How the Local Community Fund works

For every £1 Co-op members spend on selected Co-op products and services, 2p goes into your membership account and the Co-op gives the same amount to support community organisations and local causes.

When you become a Co-op member, you can choose a local cause to support through your membership. 

You can only support one local cause at a time, and you

 can change the cause at any time by logging into your membership account.

If you do not select a cause to support, the Co-op shares the funds you raised equally between the 3 local causes in your community.

The Co-op gives you a new set of causes to choose from every October.

Local causes will be part of the Local Community Fund for 12 months from 24th October 2021 to 22nd October 2022 and will receive their share of the funding in 2 payments - one in April 2022 and one in November 2022.

The 3 local causes are:

1st Upchurch Brownies and Guides

Upchurch Support Network

Upchurch Village Hall
