We’re owned by our members at Lincolnshire
Co-operative and we believe it's important to support the communities they live in.

Every year, we give away hundreds of thousands of pounds to a wide range of local good causes as a way of sharing our profits.

There’s a huge variety in the type of projects we support and the amounts we give, from £10 raffle prizes to Community Dividend grants worth thousands.

Decisions on grants and donations are taken by our members. Our member groups deal with smaller amounts and larger sums are decided by our Member Services Council or the Board of Directors.

We particularly make an effort to support schemes which fit with our co-operative ethos, such as those with education, health or co-operative development at their heart.

We also offer sponsorships to different groups and projects. These are just as varied and could be a long-term relationship with a sports club, sponsorship of a leaflet or publicity for a community group.

Our staff also care about the community. Many give up their time to volunteer for a local group or to raise money for our Charity of the Year.
