TEDDINGTON: The Co-op is looking for local groups to apply for its next round of the Local Community Fund.

A new survey from the Co-op reveals that 53% of local community causes have seen available funding decrease in past 12 months, with three quarters expecting demand for their services to increase.

The importance of local communities supporting local causes in the borough has been highlighted by Giles Hobart and TAG Youth Club.

TAG is a local cause that is receiving much needed funds from the Co-op's Local Community Fund, thanks to Co-op Members. In our exclusive interview, Giles talks about how the Co-op has helped the club and just how much the children enjoy it.

The Co-op Local Community fund has helped thousands of organisations up and down the country.

TAG Youth Club in Ham have definitely felt the benefit of this fund. They are a youth club for people with disabilities between the ages of eight and 25. Everyone is welcome and they provide opportunities to experience and participate in arts, drama, music and sports.
