Guide for local causes

If you’re part of our Co-op Local Community Fund from 19 October 2025 to 17 October 2026, then this guide is for you. It will help you get the most out of our 12-month funding partnership by providing guidance on membership and where to download promotional materials.

Encourage supporters to become Co-op Members and choose you as their cause

Kick start your funding by signing up new members and receive up to £50

You can raise an additional £50 when you encourage your supporters to download the Co-op App, become a Co-op Member and choose you as their local cause. You can earn £5 for every new member who signs up via the app, up to a maximum of 10 members, until 15 November 2025. So that we can track your numbers and you don't miss out on extra funds, please ensure you share the unique link we sent to you in your 'Kick start your funding' email with your supporters. T&Cs apply.

Encourage members to download the Co-op App

As we are owned by our members, they have a say in how we spend our profits. One of the ways Co-op Members can influence where we share £5m in our communities is by choosing a local cause on the Co-op App. So, encourage your supporters to download the app and choose you.
