When you buy selected Co-op products and services, 2p for every £1 spent goes into your membership account. And we’ll split the same between like-minded organisations and local causes.
You can select a local cause you would like to support.
If you do not select a cause to support, we’ll share the funds you raised equally between the 3 causes in your community.
We give you a new set of causes to choose from every October.
You can change the cause you support at any time.

How this cause brings people in the community together
Children whose family are going through pregnancy and infant loss can get support to understand the loss of their sibling. They let them know that their feelings matter and they can talk about it.
Teamwork Trust
Mental wellbeing
Teamwork Trust would like to attract more volunteers and supporters to help disabled people help each other. They’d like to do arts and crafts, training, woodwork and gardening together so that disabled people are no longer lonely or worried.
About this cause
They are a group who support people with disabilities and mental health problems to do something amazing together to improve their lives. They aim to make everyone’s lives happier and more connected so that in periods of emotional need, loneliness or anxiety, they all have a toolbox of skills to help each other and you. By doing this together, everyone gains new skills and support.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our community has been hard hit by the lockdowns and they want to find a way to make new friends, stop people feeling lonely, but also to talk a lot, walk a lot or craft a lot. We want to learn and share ways to cope and to enjoy being together. Want to help? Or need to join them? They need volunteers and want to help you if you are feeling lonely. Do join them!
