The Co-op has made a new payment of £23,162.83 to nine Tenby causes, taking the total amount awarded across the local area to £25,954.41 this year.

The group’s Local Community Fund, where the funds are shared from, is generated by members trading across the Co-op’s businesses in addition to the benefits they receive for themselves. Members are encouraged to pick a local cause to support each year, from a selection that are building stronger, more resilient communities.

Rebecca Birkbeck, Director of Community and Shared Value at the Co-op, said: “The Co-op Local Community Fund supports grass-roots projects across the UK that our Members really care about. And right now, these causes need support more than ever before.

“It’s such an amazing privilege to announce that £15 million raised by our members in total has now been shared, helping communities and lives across the country at a time when they need it most.”
