THE new Co-op store in Bradford on Avon is looking for a charity partner based in the area to fundraise for over the next year.

As part of the chain's new 'Love your Neighbourhood' community scheme, they are encouraging charities and community groups to apply before October 10 to become their fundraising partner.

Jessica Hughes, Community Investment Manager for The Southern Co-operative said: "The Southern Co-operative is run by local people, for local people, and after consulting with over 4,000 members and colleagues about our community engagement, we have developed our new localised ‘Love Your Neighbourhood’ community scheme.

"Love Your Neighbourhood focuses our community activity on benefiting the communities we serve at a much more local level and gives all stores, funeral homes and other areas of our business the opportunity to choose their own fundraising partner."

The scheme addresses promoting neighbourhoods that are greener, safer, healthier and more inclusive.
