We're supporting local NHS charities

Like everyone else in the country we’re incredibly proud of our NHS and want to show all the workers how much we appreciate them. That’s why we’re launching a campaign to raise funds for our local NHS charities. Here’s how you can get involved…

Coronavirus - Groups supporting the community

We're pairing our food stores and pharmacies with community groups supporting vulnerable people. Here's the list of the groups we're working with.

Voucher scheme helps people isolating

We're now selling £20 vouchers over the phone - they can be used by volunteers, friends or family to pay for the shopping of those who are isolating.

Community Champions

Health walks

We’re coordinating and supporting a network of health walks across the county.

Staff volunteering

Our colleagues are keen to make a difference in their local communities – that’s why we offer each one of our 2,800 colleagues the chance spend up to 16 hours per year doing paid volunteering.

Community Cuppa

Local residents, community and voluntary groups will come together over a cuppa and cake as part of a new scheme designed to tackle loneliness and social isolation.

Libraries

As well as the well-known outlets like food stores, pharmacies and post offices the Society also runs three libraries.

All of the libraries are supported by teams of dedicated volunteers from the local area.

Our environment

We’re doing lots of work across Lincolnshire Co-op to help look after our environment. From innovative products to new services, here’s an insight into how we’re going green.

Clothing recycling banks

Clothing and textiles are the UK’s fastest growing household waste stream with hundreds of thousands of tonnes going to landfill each year.

Helping our communities

As a co-operative and a truly local business we strongly believe in supporting the local community and the people within it.

Supporting education

Education and training is important to us at Lincolnshire Co-op - in fact, it's one of the seven co-operative principles that we follow.

Charitable support policy

As a local co-operative business, supporting the local charities and good causes in the areas where we trade is fundamental to our mission to be a successful co-operative. We help to support hundreds of local charities, community groups and projects each year.

Supporting food banks

Collection bins can be found in each one of Lincolnshire Co-op’s 89 food stores, giving generous shoppers an easy and convenient place to drop off a donation.
