Thank-you to everyone who has shopped at the Coop which raised the figure for us.
The Co-op Local Community Fund helps pay for local projects that our members care about.
Every time our members shop at Co-op, 1% of what they spend on selected own-branded products and services goes to help fund community projects where they live.
We also give all money raised from shopping bag sales to our causes, to help even more.
