Ayrshire causes to receive funding from Co-op
The funding will support community groups to deliver projects
Local causes in Ayrshire will receive funding from Co-op after being chosen to take part in its Local Community Fund.
The money is raised by Co-op members when they buy selected own-brand products and services.
This year, the chosen causes include Community Wellbeing Hub, RNLI Girvan Lifeboat Station and Carrick Rugby Football Club, who will receive funding to deliver local projects.
Rebecca Birkbeck, Director of Community and Member Participation at Co-op, said: “Community groups and local organisations are providing valuable services and support to people at a time when they need it most.
“Our Co-op membership is a powerful way for people to make a difference simply by shopping at Co-op.”
The Local Community Fund supports grassroots projects to help deliver Co-op’s vision of co-operating for a fairer world, bringing people together to provide access to food, access to mental wellbeing, opportunities for young people, as well as protecting local biodiversity or reduce carbon emissions.
