We reserve the right amend, update or change these prizes at any time if it becomes necessary to do so.
Winners will be contacted via their email associated to their Co-op Membership account. Entrants must make sure that the email address associated with their account is up-to-date and active. Prizes are non-exchangeable, non-transferable and no cash alternative can be requested. Prizes are provided at our discretion, and we may substitute or change it for a prize of an equivalent or greater value if circumstances beyond our control make it necessary to do so.
Any credit under Prize 1 will be added to the winners’ valid Co-op Membership card and can be spent in Co-op Food stores, at Co-op Funeralcare or with Co-op Legal Services. We reserve the right to transfer any remaining balance on the winner’s Membership card to an alternative solution if it becomes necessary to do so.

Causes can request a reduced amount if they are unable to use the full amount of Prize 2. The amount of money given per cause will not exceed £5,000. If the prize is deemed to be too much for the selected Cause, we will reduce the amount of money to suit the Cause’s needs at our discretion. If the selected Cause does not wish to participate and accept Prize 2, a replacement Cause will not be chosen and Prize 2 will be added to the Local Community Fund which will be distributed between all Local Community Fund Causes across the UK at the end of December 2025.
The money received by the Cause can contribute towards a project applied for as part of the current Local Community Fund giving period, or a project supporting their local community in line with their objectives after discussion and agreement with the Local Community Fund Co-op Team.
