Love Norbury has been chosen as a nominated group in the Co-op Local Community Fund and WE NEED YOUR HELP….

By becoming a Co-op member you will automatically help Love Norbury continue its good work every time you shop at the Co-op.

You pay £1 to become a member. This buys you a share in the Co-op, which gives you:

• 5% back to spend next time when you buy Co-op products
• A share in their profits if they do well
• The right to vote on how they do business

For full details please visit the Co-op website.

Help your local community

Every time you buy selected Co-op products from Co-op food stores and other Co-op businesses, they give 1% of what you spend to local causes near you. Love Norbury is now officially a Co-op local cause.

Co‑op Members have helped raise an amazing £20 million for local causes. That means the Co-op have been able to help fund thousands of local projects that benefit communities across the UK.

This is where Love Norbury needs your help…

If you are already a Co-op member Love Norbury would love it if you could nominate Love Norbury as your chosen cause. This means that every time you shop at the Co-op, 1% of what you spend on Co-op branded products will go to Love Norbury and will be spent on local community events.

Love Norbury was nominated for a 2017 Mayor of Croydon Civic Award in the category Voluntary Group of the Year. Some of the Love Norbury team attended the awards ceremony on Tuesday 17^th October.

We were treated to a wonderful evening at the Hilton hotel and we are absolutely delighted to say that we WON!

We are officially Voluntary Group of the Year and we are literally over the moon.

After the ceremony Brenda presented the Mayor of Croydon with a beautiful bouquet of knitted flowers from the Norbury Knitters

We had an amazing time at the awards ceremony. There really are some inspirational people and groups in Croydon. We’d like to say a huge well done to all winners and finalists.

Here are some photos from a very memorable evening…
