The Co-operative organisation has made a plea for shoppers in the Solent area to make a difference to their community by standing for election to be on the local area committee.
There are four vacant seats on the Solent area committee for The Co-operative.
Customers, who are members and have earned enough membership points, have the opportunity to be the eyes and ears to see how the company operates. They also have the chance to certify that The Co-operative is supporting local communities.
Any member of The Co-operative in the area is eligible to nominate themselves if they have traded with the business throughout 2012.
Fay Bowden, Membership Officer for The Co-operative in the Solent area, said: “We’re looking for co-operatively minded people who are passionate about their community. We welcome applications from anyone with fresh ideas, and I hope that our customers are inspired to take their membership to the next level with this opportunity.”
Nominations are open until 13 May 2013. For more details email membership.sw@co-operative.coop or call 01884 266 892.
