Co-op shoppers in Andover could bag themselves £500 and donate £5,000 to local causes just by swiping their membership cards.

The Co-op has launched 'The Winners Share It All', a UK-wide competition that enhances existing community support.

Member-owners are entered into a monthly prize draw automatically upon spending £5 in-store or online and choosing a Local Community Fund cause.

Ten members per month will gain £500 each and £5,000 for their chosen cause.

Multiple entries are possible, each £5 shop results in one entry.

Non-members can participate by joining for £1 via the Co-op App.

The Co-op supports local communities through its Local Community Fund, which has backed 36,000 causes since 2016.

This initiative brings an extra £500,000 to the Co-op Local Community Fund causes, supporting projects that benefit Co-op member communities.

Rebecca Birkbeck, director of community and membership participation at Co-op, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching the new ‘The Winners Share It All’ activity, as we continue to offer strong support for local communities and meaningful value for our member-owners.

“Our Local Community Fund supports lots of local causes and community groups in Andover with much needed financial support. An extra £5,000 boost can make a huge difference to these incredible grassroot projects, enabling them to provide important services, support and activities for their community. It’s great that our members can support this whilst also getting a welcome boost themselves with £500 towards their daily shop.

“The prize draw is open to all existing and new Co-op member-owners. To become a member, customers can sign up in-store or online for just £1 and start saving on their daily shop while supporting local groups in their area.”
