CO-OP is inviting community groups to apply for funding that supports projects making a positive impact.
Applications are now open for the retailer’s Local Community Fund, offering a share of £3.5 million to eligible groups and charities across the UK.
David Luckin, head of social value and community engagement at Co-op, said: “Beginning the search for new local causes to take part in a fresh round of funding is always exciting, our members have told us that they want Co-op to focus on the real issues affecting people’s lives.
“Co-operation and people working together can be very powerful, and our funding enables local causes to deliver projects that focus on issues that matter most locally.
“We know that things can be increasingly challenging for communities and through this funding we can help to make a real difference – helping people and communities thrive.”
The funding supports projects related to food access, mental wellbeing, youth opportunities, community connection, and sustainability.
40,000 causes have already received support through the fund since 2016.
