We don't send out updates outside of our newsletters often - but this news is too good not to share! We're thrilled to announce our Take Flight programme has been chosen as a Co-op Local Community Fund cause.

The Co-op Local Community Fund supports projects across the UK: every time members buy selected Co-op branded products and services, 2p for every £1 spent goes to your membership account and 2p goes to support to local causes like our Take Flight programme.

The more Co-op members that choose us as their cause, the more money we can raise for our crucial Take Flight programme. So if you're a Co-op member, or shop at the Co-op and would become a member (it only costs £1 and you get loads of benefits) then please visit our cause page and choose us!

CHOOSE US AS YOUR LOCAL CAUSE

What your support means:

Take Flight offers an inclusive programme for young people aged 13-25, introducing them to aerial acrobatics, physical theatre and choreography.
It offers an essential supportive space for our young aerialists to improve their physical and mental wellbeing, make new friends, develop skills and confidence, and explore their creativity.

Aerial work is intense! It requires highly skilled tutors and specialised equipment that takes a lot of wear and tear.

Your support:
£400 pays for a specialised aerial tutor for 1 month.
£500 means we can re-cover our Chinese Pole.
£600 means we can buy 4 new aerial silks.
£750 means we can buy 3 new trapezes.
£1000 supports a young person in developing
their aerial skills for 6 months.
