The Eden Project Communities's fabulous initiative is coming up! https://www.edenprojectcommunities.com/the-big-lunch

As part of this community celebration, we are supporting a nature-journalling walk hosted by the University of Exeter Multifaith Chaplaincy Team. Part of the international eco-conscious arts festival "If Trees Could Talk", the walk will connect participants closer to nature and provide time for mindful reflection and conversation.

With a range of Co-op's healthy snacks and our own brand charity water (3p per bottle to The One Foundation), participants will be well-fuelled and hydrated. Read more about water security and what we do about it here: https://www.coop.co.uk/our-suppliers/water

8th June, 5pm, Multifaith Centre, University of Exeter. Please email [email protected] for more info and to reserve a space.

As part of the AGM event at Exeter Library last Saturday, Sarah created this pop-up exhibition about the history of the Co-op, evoking the set-up of the original shop that opened in Toad Lane, Rochdale, in 1844.

We also launched our Member Memories project, which is collecting personal memories and connections to our Co-op. Feel free to submit yours here: https://forms.office.com/e/Dncn02wscK

Many thanks to the Co-Operative Heritage Trust for supplying images of items in their collection, allowing us to bring the history of the co-operative movement to life for our members in the South West!
