Co-op stores in Worthing, Lancing and Sompting give away around £27,000 to local good causes

Co-op Celebration Week has seen three stores celebrating their chosen charities with events organised by Bob Smytherman, member pioneer for East Worthing, Lancing and Sompting.

Bob said: "It is all about celebrating our community. Co-op members' donations are used in our community to meet our mission for 'Co-operating for a Fairer World'."

At Plaza Parade Co-op, in Rowlands Road, a group of children from years one and two at St Mary's Catholic Primary School gathered this morning to hand in their colouring competition entries.
