Legacies and Fundraising

How to support us to preserve and share the history of the

Co-op Movement

We are keen to work with individuals and organisations which share the values and principles we exist to represent.

There are many ways to help

Leaving us a gift in your will

It is easy to leave a gift and there is no legal commitment. In fact we don't need to know in advance about your plans; one of the reasons it is so helpful to us is that legacies are unrestricted and we can use them to support all sorts of activities from working with new audiences to looking after fragile items or being able to house any new collections we are offered.

If you are looking to include our charity in your will, an example might look like this 

" I leave specified amount / asset /proportion of my estate to the Co-operative Heritage Trust CIO of Holyoake House, Hanover Street Manchester M600AS (registered 1179727 England and Wales), absolutely for its general charitable purposes and I declare that the receipt of the Director or other proper officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors."

If you are an executor and need our help - you can contact the Trust Manager [email protected] or the Board of Trustees [email protected] to support your enquiry.

Corporate volunteering and donations

If your business encourages charity days for employees, we would love to hear from you to help us with some of our community social action work.

Corporate responsibility through donation can help with tax deductions as well as be a great way to get involved in local causes. It can also be a showcase for the experience and skills your business has.

Corporate Charity Fundraising

If you would like hold a one-off fundraising event, we can host it for you. Some businesses choose to fundraise by literally walking in the footsteps of the Pioneers themselves from Manchester to Rochdale along the towpath of the Rochdale Canal. 

How your business can benefit from supporting us

* Working together enhances the public understanding of co-operation and helps your workforce feel more connected to shared values and principles.

* Get preferential access to our site and team for your inductions, away days, evening receptions, meeting space and workshops which can be designed to meet your needs as our supporters.
