A thank you from our local charity partner, thanking us for all the work we have done together over the pandemic - Lakes Food store🌈👍😊
"We just wanted to take the opportunity to extend a great big thank you for the food donated to the Oasis Community Hub for our summer sessions this week. Families were really chuffed and could not believe the coop had donated all of the lovely things. Safe to say they went down a treat!"
"For months you and all your volunteers have responded brilliantly to my weekly orders while I was self-isolating. It was wonderful to be able to have all the products I normally buy at Wem Co-op Food store delivered to my door so quickly. I was always treated courteously and with patience and good humour by the staff over the phone. The volunteers did a terrific job too. When lockdown began to ease, I started shopping in person. I was reassured by all the measures you have taken to ensure safety for shoppers and staff. I have now been on 3 occasions, soon after opening time on Tuesday mornings. It is good to be back. I am really grateful to everyone for all their hard work. Margaret Wilden"

How you can get involved
We want you to share a picture of yourself and/or your team with your thumbs up and include a sentence outlining why you’ve given yourself, your team or a team member a ‘thumbs up’ today, along with the hashtag #TeamMC.
E.g. it could be some great customer feedback you’ve had for going above and beyond. Or something you’ve done to help the community that they’re proud of. Or just that the team is Okay.
To note: please take care of social distancing for pictures together as we are also following guidelines on this and hope you are too!
You can share these either on your group's Facebook groups or by simply sending it to thumbsup@midcounties.coop
We will be posting weekly Thumbs Up round up every Sunday on the homepage of Colleagues Connect, so remember to log on and be reminded of what makes our Society so great – your colleagues. You can also take the chance to give them a pat on the back yourself by commenting on the post.
Have a look at the videos below from our Cainscross Nursery and our Bicton Heath Food store!
Don’t forget if you have any great pictures or videos post them on your Facebook group or email them to us at thumbsup@midcounties.coop
If you would not like your information shown above, please let us know at Communications@midcounties.coop stating your full name and we will remove as soon as we can.
