Gigs that give back

Co-op Live, the UK’s largest and most sustainable live entertainment venue, donates at least £1m to us every year to support us deliver on our strategy, ‘Building communities of the future together’.

The donation will support initiatives like our Young Gamechangers Fund, which awards grants of up to £20k directly to young people aged 10-25 who are leading positive change in their communities.

Watch the video below to learn more about one of our Young Gamechangers, Elizabeth, and how the funding is helping create fairer, kinder, more inclusive communities across the UK.

The Young Gamechangers Fund is a partnership between Co-op Foundation, Co-op, and #iwill and is delivered by Restless Development and Global Fund for Children.

Co-operative, community-focused values 

Being Co-op Live’s Official Charity Partner further strengthens the work we’re doing to support and empower young people to do incredible things for their community.

Our partnership highlights the shared co-operative values ourselves, Co-op, and Co-op Live have – values that put community at the heart of everything we do.

Dream seats

In addition to the £1m donation, Co-op Live has allocated tickets for every show at the venue to award to those who we fund. These ‘Dream Seats’ give those doing amazing work in their communities the opportunity to visit Co-op Live at no cost.
