Guide for local causes

If you’re part of our Co-op Local Community Fund from October 2024 to October 2025, 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.

We've created a range of promotional materials to help you raise awareness of your involvement in the Co-op Local Community Fund. Download these resources to help you encourage more members to choose you as their cause.

Your project has a dedicated page on our membership website. The page link is in your welcome email. Share it on social media so Co-op Members can find you and choose you as their cause. Don’t forget to follow @coopuk.

You can use the Co-op logo to promote the Co-op Local Community Fund and encourage Co-op Members to choose you as their local cause. Download our useful guide to find out how to use our Co-op logo in your own promotional materials.

If you missed our live webinar on 17 October 2024, don’t worry, we recorded it for you! Click here to watch the video to find out how the Local Community Fund works, how to promote your cause to our members and how to engage with your local Co-op Colleagues.

Until 18 October 2025, Co-op Members will be able to choose you as their local cause. Encourage your supporters, family and friends to become Co-op Members so they can choose you as their cause and help you raise funds for your project.

Look out for regular emails from the Local Community Fund team which offer guidance and support throughout the funding period. You can email us at: communityteam@coop.co.uk. Remember to include your 5-digit ‘Cause ID' which can be found on emails we've sent you.
