Make communities safer, kinder and more inclusive

In 2025 we partnered for the fourth year with Mind, SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health) and Inspire on Time to Talk Day, the UK’s largest conversation about mental health and wellbeing. As a result, we saw over 3 million conversations happen around mental wellbeing.

Support people at difficult times

Our partnership with Cruse Bereavement Support came to an end in 2025. It aimed to help people talk about death and grief more openly, empowering people to provide everyday bereavement support to those who’ve experienced a loss. Over the duration of the partnership, 9,000 people were engaged in community-led bereavement support.

Support global development, peace and co-operation

In February 2025, we launched our Peace and Co-operation campaign to ensure co-operation becomes a core part of how communities affected by conflict and division, both overseas and in the UK, are supported.

Bring people together and reduce divisions in communities

We partnered with The Big Lunch, an annual campaign run by the Eden Project, to encourage members across the UK to connect with their communities over food. In 2025, 10.5 million people participated across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including an estimated 1.07 million Co-op Members.

Support effective action to tackle retail crime and its causes

Since 2018, Safer Colleagues, Safer Communities has been our campaign to protect colleagues from rising levels of violence and abuse. Throughout this campaign, we’ve invested heavily and worked tirelessly to secure police support and consistently lobbied for stronger legal protections for shopworkers.
