The Co-op Local Community Fund
Details
The Co-op Local Community Fund gives money to local causes, helping to bring people together and make a difference. They give preference to projects run by small, local organisations that make a real difference to people in their community.
You can apply if your project supports People or our Planet in the following ways.
People: They're looking for projects that enable people to play a part in their community’s future by:
- Supporting young people to fulfil their potential
- Helping older people feel connected
- Improving people’s mental wellbeing
Planet: They’re also looking for projects that help to protect our planet by:
- Tackling climate change
- Reducing waste and resource use
- Protecting nature
Across both People and Planet themes they are keen to support projects that promote and celebrate diversity and inclusion.
If you are successful, you’ll be part of the Local Community Fund for 12 months from 20 October 2024 to 18 October 2025. You'll receive your funds in November 2025.
