Co-Op community Page

04 November 2019

The Co-Op community page for Dementia Friendly Purbeck is now up and running and ready for Co-Op members to select for donations.

To make a donation you need to join the Co-Op and nominate Dementia Friendly Purbeck for your community donations. If you don’t live in Wareham you may need to search to find it. When Co-Op members shop, 1% of what they spend on selected Co-Op branded products and services goes to support local causes through our Local Community Fund. Members can choose a local cause that they want their 1% to support. You can sign up to be member on line.

A very easy way for you, your family and friends to donate to Dementia Friendly Purbeck!
