£18 million raised for local communities through MADL

Making A Difference Locally (MADL), Coop Wholesale’s charity, has now raised over £18 million to support local charities, community groups and good causes across the UK.

Supporting communities, together

MADL gives retailers a simple way to give back. Funds are raised through the sale of Coop own-brand products, as well as in-store initiatives like collection tins and clothing banks - with retailers choosing the local causes they want to support and that matter to their community.

Since September 2023 alone, over £1 million has been donated through more than 2,000 retailer contributions.

A growing impact

Retailers continue to make a real difference in their communities, with over £100,000 raised every month.

Recent milestones include:

  • Proudfoot Supermarkets reaching £200,000 in donations
  • Dike & Son and LA Foods each reaching £100,000
  • Pricewatch Group reaching £75,000

Helping communities thrive

Programmes like Heart of the Community provide dedicated funding to local projects, with a £250,000 fund supporting initiatives that strengthen communities where it’s needed most.

Looking ahead

MADL continues to grow, helping more retailers to support their communities and make a meaningful local impact.
