Chance to raise hundreds of pounds

Charities and community groups are being encouraged to apply to be part of Lincolnshire Co-op’s Community Champions scheme, which could see them raise hundreds of pounds.

All Lincolnshire Co-op members are linked to a Community Champion, which is a good cause close to where they live.

Every time a member shops using their dividend card in any Lincolnshire Co-op outlet where points are issued, a donation from the Community Champions pot goes towards their local good cause.

The groups change every three months so lots of organisations can benefit.

Typically, after every three month stint, around 80 local groups share in £45,000. Now, the Society’s Membership and Community team are looking for more groups to come forward and get involved.

Lincolnshire Co-op’s Member Engagement Manager Richard Whittaker. “We know there must be lots of groups out there that could benefit and it’s really simple to apply to be a Community Champion. Groups just have to fill out a short form and if they’re chosen, they’ll be able to raise hundreds of pounds.”
