Co-op Introduction.
We wanted to let you know about our latest Membership offer that could help boost funding for your local cause. When a new Member joins the Co-op using the Co-op App (https://www.coop.co.uk/coopapp?utm_source=Membership…) between 23 March and 19 April, they will receive a digital offer for £3 off, when they spend £10 or more in our food stores. How the fund works From 24 October 2021 to 22 October 2022 Co-op members can choose to raise funds for your cause. For every £1 members spend on selected Co-op branded products and services, 2p will go into their membership account. The same amount will support community organisations and local causes like FOMD. We spilt this equally between:
• Local Community Fund. Members have raised £84 million for over 25,000 causes since 2016.
• Community Partnerships Fund. Co-op work with like-minded national organisations to create lasting change on the issues we care about To collect rewards and contribute to your cause, members must swipe or scan their membership card when they shop. If they do not, you will miss out on funds.
