From community gardens to summer fayres, Co-op know a little support can go a long way. That’s why their Community Fund is offering grants of up to £500 to groups who apply with great project ideas that bring people together.

Applying is easy, and the great news is that funding is available all year round and you can apply from wherever you are in the UK.

Co-op are looking for groups who align with their cooperative values and through their projects empower their members/service users and wider community to achieve more.

Have you got a project idea that a grant could bring to life?

You can apply for a grant once a year and if successful Co-op will be engaging with you to make an online community of people with like-minded ideas. You can find out more information here
