Make a difference in your community
We’re a business with a difference. Owned by our members and other Co-ops, not big investors.
We put helping our communities at the centre of everything we do.

We put helping our communities at the centre of everything we do.
We support local communities through our community partnerships and the Local Community Fund, a fund which has donated over £107m to 36,000 causes since it began in 2016.
Our Local Community Fund supports thousands of grassroots community projects and Co-op Members can choose which local cause they want to support.
When you become a Co-op Member, you can choose a local cause to support through your membership. This might be a park, community space or a local charity.
Through our Community Partnerships Fund we work with other organisations on the big issues we care about. Access to food, mental health support, and employment and education for young people are all things we’re working on.
Help to shape our products and services by taking part in surveys, forums and online events.
Influence how we run the Co-op by voting in elections and motions at our AGM and contacting your Members’ Council representatives.
Member Pioneers volunteer to help in their local community.
Our online community centre helps people find an activity, join a group or set up their own.
