Background
The Tamworth Co-operative Society has always supported the local community. In 1889, for example, we gave cash to a local cottage hospital, the fire brigade, and even to a member who had lost his horse. This tradition of giving has lasted for more than a century and today’s Tamworth Co-op helps the community in many ways. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we held an annual Christmas memorial service for people who have lost loved ones. The Society supports various charities too with ad hoc donations. Our Community Dividend Fund generates a five-figure sum each year which is split between 12 worthy organisations across our trading area.
These are the good causes supported by each branch in 2021:
| Branch | Charity |
| Bolehall | Ankermoor Primary School |
| Dordon | Dordon Primary School |
| Dosthill | Dosthill Primary Academy |
| Glascote | William McGregor Primary School |
| Kingsbury | Kingsbury Primary School |
| Lichfield | Willows Primary School |
| Polesworth | Nethersole Church of England Academy |
| Rosliston | Roslistion Church of England Primary School |
| Supermarket | Moorgate Primary Academy |
| Stretton | The Fountains High School |
| Wood End | Wood End Primary School |

“We’re local, we’re independent and we care.”
