Know a community group who needs funding?

10 June 2025 160 words

We’re not owned by a wealthy few, we’re owned by you; our members. Which means you get a say in how we spend a share of our profits in local communities.

Thanks to Co-op Members, we’ve already shared £115m with over 39,000 projects across the UK through our Local Community Fund.

It’s now time to find a new set of local causes for you to support! We’re looking for groups that are providing opportunities and resources to help people thrive. We know how powerful co-operation can be in creating a positive difference in local communities.

We’re looking to support projects that:

  • enable people to access food
  • create opportunities for young people
  • improve people’s mental wellbeing
  • promote community cohesion
  • build sustainable futures 

You can see examples of the types of causes we’re looking for here.

If you know of a local group, our are part of a group, in your community that are looking for funding, please visit coop.co.uk/causes to find out more and apply.
