Consultation ends 21st July on the redundancies of 770 Co-op Member Pioneers and Coordinators. I believe any feedback can be forwarded to the Director of Community and Member Participation at Co-op for a response.

Sadly the last week before we hear of final redundancy as the Member Pioneer programme, the face of Co-op in our local communties is being closed. There’ll be so many missing links to connect support with stores, funeralcare, community networking & sharing impact #ItsWhatWeDid
