The Co-op supports projects that make communities fairer for everyone.
Co-op members have raised over £85m for nearly 30,000 local projects since the Local Community Fund began in 2016.
To be eligible for funding, you must be a not for profit group and deliver a project to benefit your local community.
If successful, you will be part of the Local Community Fund for 12 months from 23rd October 2022 to 21st October 2023.
You can encourage Co-op members to support your local cause, and the more members that shop at the Co-op, the more money your project will receive.
You will find out if your application has been successful in October 2022.
If you are successful, you will receive your funds in November 2023.
To apply, you need to join the Co-op online community centre, Co-operate and send your application by the new extended deadline of Sunday the 12th of June 2022.
