As a caring community we have inclusion at our heart. 

We’re guided by our Co-operative values and principles so working with ethical partners such as Oxfam is second nature to us.

Through the sale of ‘Sourced by Oxfam’ Pride products in our stores, we are supporting international LGBTQIA+ communities in places where they need a voice.

You will find the range in Central Co-op stores on special display shelves over the coming weeks.
Buying any of these fabulous products will make a difference.
