Support local causes with a click
Win £5,000 for your community – and £500 for yourself – by taking part in Co-op’s Winners Share It All prize draw
Community causes up and down the country work hard to provide help to people who need it most. Thanks to Co-op members, more help is now available to local causes supporting their communities.
Food for Families in West Yorkshire is one of many local causes in the UK working to feed people in need. Families can pick up ready-made food packs at the same time as picking up the kids from school.
Now the group has been given its own helping hand, with £5,000 from Co-op as part of its Winners Share It All prize draw. It was chosen by a
Co-op member, who also received a £500 prize.
Other groups who have won since the prize draw launched include Sandy Bear children’s bereavement charity in Wales; the Happy Memories Cafe in Gildersome, near Leeds, which provides a space for people with dementia; and Blackpool’s Fylde Coast Women’s Aid, supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
Choose your own Local Community Fund cause via coop.co.uk or the Co-op app, and spend £5 either in store or online, and you will automatically be entered for a chance to win. Members get additional entries for every £5 spend.
There will be 10 winners every month until December, so there are plenty of chances to win. Non-members can also become a member to take part for just £1 via the Co-op app. It’ll take moments to choose a cause but could really make a difference to your community.
The Winners Share It All prize draw is designed to help boost Co-op’s existing support for thousands of grassroots causes. The Local Community Fund has supported nearly 40,000 projects since 2016. In total, £108 million has been raised by Co-op members.
“Getting a call from Co-op was amazing,” says Lesley Maslen from Food for Families.
“£5,000 will really make a difference and allow us to look at other projects like a community cookery school and a lunch club for the elderly. Thank you.”
