Grant News

Grants are available for small voluntary and community groups to support projects that benefit local communities centred around Co-op Food Stores and funeral homes across the UK or the Isle of Man.

The Co-op Local Community Fund will fund projects that:

• bring people together to access food
• help to improve people's mental wellbeing
• create opportunities for young people to be heard and make a difference
• help people to save and restore nature or tackle climate change

Groups that can apply include:

• UK registered charities
• Scout, Guide or Woodcraft Folk groups
• Social enterprises
• Church or chapels that are 'excepted' charities
• Co-operative societies
• Credit unions
• Community benefit societies
• Community Interest Companies (CIC)
• Any other groups that can prove they're not run for private profit

The level of funding allocated to each local community is determined by the number of Co-op members who choose to shop with the Co-op.

The application deadline for this funding round is the 11th June 2023.
