Preston groups to split £23k from the Co-op Local Community Fund

Longridge Community Action receiving their funding from the Co-Op

More than £20,000 is going to multiple good causes across Preston thanks to the Co-Op.

The Co-op Local Community Fund supports projects across the UK.

Every time members buy Co-op branded products and services, they receive a 2 per cent cashback and the Co-op donates 2 per cent to the Local Community Fund which is split between the members chosen community group and community projects.

Members can choose which of the local groups they would like to receive their donation.
