Co-op's Black History Month competition has now concluded.

Black History Month in October recognises and celebrates the remarkable contributions of black people across society. It is an opportunity to help inspire and empower future generations.

A local cause which champions equality is Reads for Representation, a Congleton charity which aims to provide schools with more diverse and inclusive books. Reads for representation is one of this year's Co-op local causes, selected to receive support from the Co-op's Local Community Fund.

When Co-op Members buy selected Co-op branded products and services, 2p for every £1 spent goes into their Co-op Membership account and Co-op gives the same to support community organisations and local causes. Co-op Membership helps support Co-op's national charity partners and Local Community Fund causes.
