The Co-op Local Community Fund is officially open and accepting applications for our latest funding round (Round 12).

This enables our members to choose from around 2,100 new local causes and decide how £3.5m million will be shared across their communities from October 2026 to October 2027.

We’ll be looking to support projects that;

·                enable people to access food

·                create opportunities for young people

·                improve people’s mental wellbeing

·                promote community cohesion

·                build sustainable futures 

As always, we’re also keen to support projects that promote and celebrate diversity and inclusion.

The deadline for applications is midnight Wednesday 24 June 2026.
