Holmfirth-based community interest company fairandfunky has been chosen as a Co-op local community cause at Holmfirth Co-operative store for the second year running.
Since 2020, the Co-op has shared more than £58m with nearly 20,500 unique community projects and charities across the UK.
The way it works is that the more Co-operative members use their blue Co-op membership card at the checkout, the more funding The Co-operative allocates to support local causes.
Holmfirth-based fairandfunky CIC provides workshops in schools and with community groups on key global themes such as recycling, Fairtrade and the environment.
Sophie Root from fairandfunky CIC said: “We believe that as individuals we each have the power to make a positive difference in the world through the way we act, what we wear, where we shop and what we do.
“Empowering the young people with this knowledge plays a huge part in creating the next generation of active citizens and change-makers and the Co-op funding will allow us to do much more of this on our doorstep.
“We’re urging Co-op members to choose fairandfunky as their cause so we can deliver our climate action project and work with people in the Holme Valley and surrounding areas.”
