This year, Sporting Challenge has been chosen to benefit from the Co-op Local Community Fund.

At a time when funds for charitable organisations are becoming more difficult to access, we’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity to make a real difference in West Lancashire.

We are raising funds to help our group members with learning disabilities to take part in sports sessions and take them on a short break to an 'Outward Bound' centre, and to help us raise vital funds, we’ll be relying on Co-op shoppers.

Every time they buy Co-op own-brand products they get a 5% reward for themselves, and a further 1% goes to local causes like ours. Co-op members can decide which local group they would like to back by going onlinewww.coop.co.uk/membership.

We really hope that people will visit the website and choose to support us.If you’re not a member and would like to support us, you can join at your local store or online at www.coop.co.uk.

When a community comes together, we’re able to achieve great things, so we hope you can help promote our project.
