Two West Wight charities have received a share of £30,000, donated by The Southern Co-operative’s Community Support Card run at its Freshwater store.

Wight Community Access  – FYTbus, a community bus service in West Wight, has received £20,000 and Freshwater Memorial Hall £10,000 from The Southern Co-operative (TSC). The funds were raised with the support of the store’s customers, without costing them anything, simply by requesting a free Community Support Card (CSC) and having this swiped each time they shop at the store. The more the cards are swiped, the quicker the funds are raised.

The Isle of Wight Council and The Southern Co-operative are working in partnership to make a combined donation of £2,000 worth of food to the Isle of Wight Foodbank.

The move comes in response to the Island’s Foodbank plea that their reserves of food for distribution were running worryingly low. At the request of Independent Councillor Luisa Hillard, the Isle of Wight Council has donated £1000 to support those in crisis. This has been match funded by £1000 of food supplies from The Southern Co-operative which runs 12 community food stores on the Island.
