Co-op Local Community Fund

We’re delighted to announce that October Books has been selected to take part in the Co-op Local Community Fund. But we need people who are members of the coop to go vote for us.

With the money raised we would like to complete our community space, so community groups can use it for preparing and sharing food through Co-op's 'FareShare'. Volunteers and October Books' members will put together the new doors and work surface and help to set it up as a registered kitchen. Once completed, we want to set up a FareShare scheme that will connect the homeless, those with mental health issues and other locals in need. We would like to create a space where all the community can come to prepare, share and celebrate local food.

Not a member? It only costs £1. When a member buys selected products or services from the Co-op they earn a five per cent reward for themselves, with a further one per cent for local causes like ours.  You can find out more here.

So please do go vote for us!
