The Co-operative Community Fund and How I Support It!

The Cooperative Membership Fund



Sponsored Post

Every time we go to the local Co-op shop to buy sweets the lady behind the counter asks Mummy if she has her membership card. Mummy told me that every time we shop and we swipe our card we are giving some money back to ourselves because it is a co-operative and that some of the money we get back we give to charity and local groups too.

I don't know what charity in our local area we give the money too, but if it were up to me I would spend some money on making some really cool places for me and my friends to explore and for the old people that live near us to have things brought to them rather them having to go out when it is all cold and slippy. Mummy and Daddy help some of them, but there are too many for them to do all of their shopping and I think that it would be nice if a team of people could help.

Mummy says that my idea would be a good way to help the community and that if it were up to her that is what she would give the money to. I think that the co-operative giving money to help making local areas better is a great thing to do and it would cheer everyone up too! There are a few pictures of people who have had money and for projects that they worked on. I thought it was funny as some people were helped with things like swimming clubs, and some to take photographs and there was even some people who were bee keeping!

Daddy says that lots of different people have lots of different ideas about what will make their community better and that the Co-operative will give the groups that apply to them for money the amount they ask for and that can be £100 or £2000 or anything in between! I guess the best way that I can support the Co-operative is by buying lots more sweets so that more money goes into the pot. I don't think that Mummy and Daddy will agree though!
