Cooperative Local Community Fund raises £4,618.85 for Lunch Positive, the weekly HIV Lunch Club.
For seven months, Cooperative Group Members who are customers at Cooperative food stores on London Road, Lewes Road, North Street, and further afield were given the chance to select their choice of nominated charity to receive a share of the Local Community Fund.
Using membership cards when shopping earned customers 5% of their spend for themselves, and 1% for their community. Lunch Positive received tremendous support, resulting in this amazing award. Funds awarded will contribute towards the cost of delivering the lunch club this year.
Gary Pargeter, Service Manager, says: “This a truly fantastic award. Everyone at the lunch club is so grateful for the kindness and generosity of members of the Coop who shopped and supported us. The Cooperative Group, staff and customers have been so supportive of our charity, and we’re immensely proud to be associated with cooperative values.
“Thank you everyone, this will make a big impact on our service and people who use it this year and beyond.”
