“I wanted to do something to bring the pride back into #walsall ”
Working with young people leaving prison, I realised the challenges they faced. I am so proud of the programme and most especially the graduates

“The best thing for me about the programme has been finding myself, getting my confidence back and beginning to really believe in myself again.”

In May 2023, Your Co-op began fundraising for us in #Wolverhampton , raising close to £5000. They will continue until May 2025. Thank you Your Co-op for supporting the #Deaf community. Looking forward to another year of fundraising together!

We welcome the Government's announcement today that it will introduce legislation for a stand-alone offence of attacking a shopworker. Co-operative Party, #coop retailers, and their members have lobbied for legislating against #retailcrime for many years 👇🧵

Plans announced by the UK government to make attacks on store workers a standalone offence have been welcomed by the #retail #coops movement following a long campaign on the issue

Co-op worker sprayed with vanish by 'shoplifters'

Today, @CoopUK is encouraging all of its 57,000 colleagues and five million member-owners to write to their MP and back making assaulting a shopworker a standalone offence.

#ICYMI : Watch Paul Gerrard from @CoopUK explain the difference a similar law has made in Scotland.

THIS 👇👇👇 Is why it's not 'shoplifting' - it's violent assault - pure & simple. If everyone following me on twitter / X can retweet the hell out of this to help identify those pictured - I'd appreciate it. 👇👇👇

Big Thanks to Your Co-op for their generous donation of the Room, refreshments and lunch for the community event held on Wednesday 15th Nov for the community of Walsall!

Huge congratulations to Warwickshire Search & Rescue, Wolves Samaritans, Wolverhamption Alz Café, South Shropshire Engineering Ambassadors & WhitefriarsSg for their well-deserved Kings Award for Volunteers!👏👏

Their incredible work embodies the spirit of #DoingGoodTogether
