Co-op to give £15 million in rewards to members

The Co-op is set to give £15 million to shoppers through its new membership plan.

Members receive a 5% reward when they buy own-branded products and services under a scheme launched in September.

An additional 1% is donated to local good causes under the scheme, with more than 4,000 community groups UK-wide currently benefiting.

A member spending £40 a week on own-branded groceries would earn more than £100 in a year - and see more than £20 go directly to local causes.
