And the initiative, run by Craigneuk Lifelong Learning Association, will be continuing the great work thanks to a grant from the National Lottery.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the association said: “We are pleased to announce that we have been running our Community Co-op every Wednesday for two years.
The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories, and allows you to customise your page to the sections that matter most to you.“Very quickly however we realised that it was more in demand than even we had thought. “To date we have provided almost 29,000 items of grocery, hygiene/cleaning and seasonal products, almost 3,000 fresh/frozen products and have made 80 deliveries to individuals in our community that can’t make it to the centre.
“Whilst the co-op has been on we have also held many advice surgeries from a variety of organisations to help people attending with benefit checks, apply for bus passes, support with gas/electricity payments and much, much more.
