Cathays Compass and Cradle are two local charities that have been supported by the Co-op's Local Community Fund. Read more here about their journey.

If your project is awarded funding, you will partner with Co-op for one year to bring more members to support your cause.

When Co-op members buy selected Co-op branded products and services, 2p for every pound spent goes into their Co-op Membership account and the Co-op gives the same to support community organisations and local causes. 

Co-op membership helps support Co-op's national charity partners and Local Community Fund causes. See www.coop.co.uk/membership for more information.

Co-op members will continue to help thousands of grassroots community projects through the Local Community Fund by selecting a cause to support.

Since 2016 Co-op members have raised more than £85m for over 30,000 projects.
