Local groups can now apply for a share of £5m via Co-op’s Local Community.
Through the fund, Co-op is looking to support local community causes across the UK that enable people to access food; improve mental wellbeing; create opportunities for young people; promote community cohesion; or build sustainable futures. The Local Community Fund has helped 39,000 causes across the UK since 2016.
Applications are open until Sunday 6 July - to apply, visit coop.co.uk/causes
Head of community partnerships, funding and impact at Co-op, David Luckin, said: “It’s always exciting to start the search for local causes to take part in a new round of funding. Our members have told us that they want Co-op to focus on the real issues affecting people’s lives, and act on the issues that matter most. We know that things are increasingly challenging for communities and through this funding we can make a difference locally and help people to thrive.’’
