COMMUNITY groups in Hereford are set to share a funding boost.
Thirty-nine Hereford causes, including Bredenbury Primary School, Hay Community Woodland Group and Credenhill Community Hall, are set to benefit from the Co-op's Local Community Fund.
Hereford beneficiaries of the fund, chosen by Co-op members, shared £215,249 raised through the Co-op's reward scheme last year.
Rebecca Birkbeck, Co-op's director of community engagement, said: "The more people shop, the more we share and the more impact we can have in communities. People can get involved by becoming a member, swiping their card and choosing the cause they want to support.
"Last year we invested £19 million in over 4,000 groups UK-wide, supporting a wide range of initiatives, all of which are helping to make communities across the UK safer, happier and healthier places to live."
