The Midcounties Co-operative Community Fund

The Midcounties Co-operative has over 350,000 members and more than 9,000 colleagues making it one of the UK’s largest independent retailers.

Our purpose is to work towards a better, fairer world, enhancing the lives of our colleagues, members and customers and the communities we serve. We believe in the co-operative values of:

Democracy	Ensuring the views of our membership are reflected in the way we run The Midcounties Co-operative
Openness	Being open and honest and fair in our dealings with everyone we come into contact with
Equality	Recognising the contribution that everyone can make in developing The Midcounties Co-operative
Social Responsibility	Reflecting our responsibilities to the wider community in the way we conduct our business

Our fund has been created from dormant member accounts and so it is for the benefit of communities where The Midcounties Co-operative trades. You can see where our stores are located by clicking here.

We distribute funding twice a year in Spring and Autumn and will be working in partnership with nine Community Foundations to do this.

As with all funds there are exclusions, so please make sure that you read our Grant Guidelines so that you know that you are able to apply.
