Community Partnerships Fund
Co-op members are helping to create lasting change on the big issues facing us all and providing resources to help strengthen and connect communities.
Our partners
We’re working with like-minded organisations to provide fairer access to food, mental wellbeing support, and opportunities for young people. With our partners, we’re targeting communities that need extra help the most and together making things a little bit fairer.
With support from Co-op Members, we’re also strengthening and connecting communities by:
-
supporting 1,000 Member Pioneers, who bring communities together across the UK
-
helping community groups get support and people to volunteer or access support with our online community centre, Co-operate
-
changing children’s lives and futures through our support for Co-op Academy schools
-
investing in the team that makes our community programmes and funding happen
