Community groups and charities invited to apply for Co-op funding

Community groups and charities can now apply for a share of £5 million from Co-op's Local Community Fund.
The fund seeks to support causes across the UK that "help people and communities thrive," with a focus on improving access to food; mental wellbeing; youth opportunities; community cohesion; and sustainability.
David Luckin, head of community partnerships, funding, and impact at Co-op, said: "It's always exciting to start the search for local causes to take part in a new round of funding.
"Our members have told us that they want Co-op to focus on the real issues affecting people's lives, and act on the issues that matter most.
"We know that things are increasingly challenging for communities, and through this funding, we can make a difference locally and help people and communities to thrive."
Since 2016, the fund has supported more than 39,000 projects across the UK.
Applications for the latest round of funding are open until Sunday, July 6.
