GOOD causes across Crewe have longer to submit applications to become a community group - supported by shoppers at some of the town's Co-op stores.

The Co-op uses its branches across the country to help connect with people and projects in the area. The Co-op Local Community Fund was created to help provide support and funding to local causes.  

Now, the Co-op has extended the date from Sunday 11 June until midnight on Sunday 25 June.

In Crewe, Ben Wye is the Co-op Member Pioneer who can be contacted by email or phone (Nub News).

When you buy selected Co-op products and services, 2p for every £1 you spend goes into your Co-op Membership account. The Co-op will also give the same amount to support community organisations and local causes. 

Since 2016 Co-op members have helped raise £117 million which has been used to support around 7 million people across the UK. 

The Co-op is calling community groups to apply for the next round of the Local Community Fund support, with applications open until June 25.

They will be looking to support projects that:

• Bring people together to access food
• Help improve people's mental wellbeing
• Create opportunities for young people to be heard and make a difference
• Enable people to save and restore nature or tackle climate change

You can get in touch with your local store's Co-op Member Pioneer to find out more.
