membership

our members are our owners


They are the sort of people who like to know their hard‑earned cash is being used honestly, and that a percentage of it goes back into their community.

Anyone can become a member as long as they believe in what we stand for and shop with at least one of our businesses. All you have to do is invest £1 or more, which we will collect from your first share of the profits. Being a member brings with it a host of benefits:

  • Getting involved – you can make a difference within your region and on the members' website
  • Community Fund – make a difference to your local groups by donating a few pence
