Our Communities

We recognise that access to food, education and wellbeing support is needed now more than ever and our colleagues, members and communities rely on us to be there fore them, where and when they need us the most.

With a presence in every postal area in the country, we help our communities by: - Directing our members to support around 4,000 local causes annually across the UK

• Creating targeted partnerships to address specific challenges across our community missions. Our partnership with Hubbub allowed us to identify 350 community fridge locations in 2022 which in addition to the offering of food, brought people together to build skills, improve mental wellbeing and increase their resilience.

• Our 1,000 Member Pioneers based across the UK help us reach more people into the community.

• Launching the Peer Action Collective which provides 10-25 year olds with a voice and the opportunity to make their own communities safer and fairer places.

You can find out more about our work in you community in our Co-operate Report.
