We’re delighted to have, once again, been selected as one of the beneficiary charities for the Co-op supermarket Local Causes scheme. This initiative allows Co-op members to support charity shopping while enjoying their everyday purchases. By participating, shoppers can make a positive impact in their community without any additional cost.

Co-op members can choose our parent charity, EMERGE 3Rs, as their cause to support, simply by presenting their membership card at the till when paying for selected own-brand products. Tthe Co-op will then donate a percentage of the value to FareShare Greater Manchester.

If you don’t have a membership card, signing up is quick and easy. Just visit their webpage and fill in the form. Once you’re a member, go to our official EMERGE 3Rs page and select us. By doing so, you actively engage in support charity shopping every time you buy selected products. From then on, every time you shop, as well as stocking your own larder, you could be helping to donate food to the good causes we support across Greater Manchester.

If you do some of your Christmas shopping at the Co-op this December, you could be giving people in need a little gift too.

The scheme is valid at any Co-op store in the UK, including Northern Ireland.
