Applications open across Sussex for Co-op's Local Community Fund
Applications are now open for Co-op’s Local Community Fund, meaning local charities and community groups can apply for a share of the £5 Million fund.
The business, which runs hundreds of branches across the UK, says it is committed to making a difference in its communities, and is looking to support local community causes across the UK that enable people to access food; improve mental wellbeing; create opportunities for young people; promote community cohesion; or build sustainable futures.
David Luckin, Head of Community Partnerships, Funding and Impact, Co-op, said: “It’s always exciting to start the search for local causes to take part in a new round of funding. Our members have told us that they want Co-op to focus on the real issues affecting people’s lives, and act on the issues that matter most. We know that things are increasingly challenging for communities and through this funding we can make a difference locally and help people to thrive.’’
Applications are open until Sunday, 6 July – and for more information, and to apply, local community causes and groups should visit coop.co.uk/causes
