CO-OP LOCAL Community Fund
We have been selected for the Co-op Local Community Fund this year! We applied for funds to help build an outdoor classroom. It runs until the end of October 2018. How it works - Every time members shop at the Co-op, 1% of what they spend on selected own-brand products and services goes to the Co-op Local Community Fund. They will also give us and the other causes in our community an equal share of the money they raise from sales of carrier bags. Our cause is linked to TWO stores, one in Bush Hill Park and the other is on Lancaster Road and also the funeral care services. If you already have a Co-op membership card, please go to the following website and register Raglan Schools Association as your chosen charity. https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes/14008/ If you don't have a card - you can become a member easily by requesting a card at the shop and paying £1. Then you would follow the process above to link to the RSA. This is a fantastic opportunity so please help us raise as much as we can.
