GOOD causes in Chudleigh will be receiving funding to help deliver their projects thanks to supermarket’s charity.

Local causes in Mid Devon will receive funding from Co-op after being chosen to take part in its Local Community Fund.

The money is raised by Co-op members when they buy selected own-brand products and services.

This year, local causes in Chudleigh have been chosen in, including Chudleigh Athletic Youth, Chudleigh Community Project and Chudleigh Pre-School.

Rebecca Birkbeck, Director of Community and Member Participation at Co-op said: ‘We know that the cost-of-living crisis is making it incredibly challenging for many local causes. 

‘Our Local Community Fund promotes the development of stronger, more resilient, and fairer communities.

‘Our community groups and local organisations are providing valuable services and support to people at a time when they need it most. 

‘Our Co-op membership is a powerful way for people to make a difference simply by shopping at Co-op.’

Co-op members have helped raise £117 million for local communities since 2016, including support for more than 30,000 projects across the UK through the Local Community Fund.

The Local Community Fund supports grassroots projects to help deliver Co-op’s vision of co-operating for a fairer world, bringing people together to provide access to food; access to mental wellbeing; and access to opportunities for young people.
