Co-Op’s boost for clubs

The Holbeach Hub and Gosberton Youth Centre have both been given grants by the Lincolnshire Co-Op.

Its Community Champions scheme has donated £161,428 for 45 groups and projects across the county.
Holbeach Hub will receive £6,75 and Gosberton Youth Club £1,523.
A Co-Op spokesman said: “As the effects of the cost-of-living crisis and the pandemic have continued to filter down through families to young people, these groups have been offering vital youth support.
“They focus on providing local young people with safe, neutral spaces to unwind, engage with their peers outside of school, and access support in all areas from qualified youth workers.
“Lincolnshire Co-op’s Community Champions scheme combines the efforts of members, colleagues, and customers, to donate thousands of pounds to good causes each year.
“A contribution is made each time a member shops with their dividend card, colleagues organise fundraising, and customers donate their change through collection boxes in Lincolnshire Co-op outlets.”
