Groups in Burnham-On-Sea area invited to apply for Co-Op funding
As a new pot of funding opens for applications, Co-Operative staff in Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire are celebrating their successful store fundraising in 2020.
A total of £4,232 was raised last year at The Co-operative Food stores in Bristol, £5,041 was raised by stores in Somerset and £2,971 was raised at stores in Wiltshire thanks to the support from customers and local residents.
To show Southern Co-op’s appreciation to the local causes, the total was rounded up to £12,659 so each cause receives a minimum of £500.
The funding will go to nine separate local causes – each of the stores’ local partners. These include 34th Weston-Super-Mere Scouts, Clevedon and District Foodbank, Conquest Centre, Dorothy House Hospice Care, John McNeill opportunity centre, Julian Trust, Kingshill Friends Association, The Royal Marines Charity, and Vallis First School.
