A year of cooperation

Steve Murrells
In 2025, Co‑op Foundation once again showed what true co-operation looks like, championing youth voice and backing the bold ideas that are helping to make communities fairer, safer and more sustainable.

I’m incredibly proud that as Co-op’s charity, the Foundation is supporting young people and organisations who are driving positive change in our communities, helping us to add value for our member owners every day.

Together, we’re building communities fit for the future, with young people leading the way.
