For Guernsey, the community retailer will donate to: Food for Families (Les Cotils, Bright Beginnings & Wigwam), Salvation Army, Guernsey Welfare Service and Age Concern. Simply add the voucher to your shop to support charities across both Islands, vouchers are available until 22 April 2022.
Carl Winn, Head of Community and Sustainability at the Channel Islands Coop, said: “We are calling for Islanders to come together this Easter and your small change can help to make a real difference to our community.
“At the Coop we are all about giving back wherever possible and we hope that our vouchers can help to bring a little joy to those who need it most.”
Along with the vouchers, Coop has also launched a chick hunt, with 32 chicks hidden in store, on the Coop website, online grocery store and the local paper. Find the chick, scan the QR code and enter to win an Easter prize. 1st prize: £100 Coop voucher, 2nd prize: £50 Coop voucher and 3rd prize: £25 Coop voucher.
The retailer is also organising a hot cross bun get-together to bring lonely people together over the bank holiday with hot cross bun donations. There are also in-store collection boxes, which have converted to egg donation boxes where customers can purchase an Easter egg in-store and donate, the Coop will then hand eggs out to charities over Easter. Further activities are also taking place such as character visits, face painting and more.
