Co-op Local Community Fund

The Co-op Local Community Fund support projects that make communities fairer for everyone.

If you're successful, you'll partner with the Co-op for 12 months and together the fund will encourage Co-op members to support your project.

The more members that shop with Co-op, the more money your project will receive in November 2023.

You must be a not for profit group and deliver a project to benefit your local community.

You can apply if your project:

• Brings people together to access food
• Helps improve people’s mental wellbeing
• Creates opportunities for young people to be heard and make a difference
• Helps people protect local biodiversity or tackle climate change by reducing carbon emissions

Your project must also:

• Take place in the UK or Isle of Man
• Not have religious or political aims (although you can still apply if you’re a religious organisation)
• Take place or will still be running after November 2023

The more Co-op members that support your project and shop with the Co-op, the more money you'll receive. In most areas, this is between £1,000 and £3,000 on average. You’ll get a minimum of £1,000 to support your project.
