Member benefits

A share in our success

Earn dividend points

When we do well, so do our members. We share our profits with our members and this is known as our dividend (affectionately known as the ‘divi’). Every time you shop with us, you earn dividend points*. The more you shop with us, the more you get - it all adds up!

* There are a few things like cigarettes, National Lottery, infant formula, PayPoint, Subway, funeral disbursements and prescription drugs that don’t qualify for dividend points.

Have your voice heard

Each of our members owns an equal share of our co-op. That means that you can vote on important things, including our annual Election of Directors, and on motions at our Annual Members' Meeting.

Support for the local community

Through our Community Token Scheme members can have a say in which local good causes we support, every time they shop with us.

Our exclusive members' magazine

Twice a year we publish our members' magazine. It's a great read and is full of inspiring stories from across our region, as well as exclusive offers and interviews.

A chance to taste new products

Our tasting panel offers our members an opportunity to sample fantastic food and delicious drinks for free - all they need to do is tell us what they think!

Member-only offers

We regularly provide exclusive offers just for our members. They feature in our monthly Members' Mashup as well as our biannual members' magazine.

Members can invest up to £20,000 in their share account*, which in turn helps us invest in the future of our co-op. In return we'll pay 1% interest on balances up to £20,000.
