Get Involved! We want our Colleagues to share all the incredible and fantastic Thumbs Up and Good News stories from across the Society. 👍
It's easy to take part, all you have to do is send through your entries to thumbsup@midcounties.coop with a sentence outlining why you’ve given yourself, your team or a team member a ‘thumbs up’ today and we will feature it on Colleagues Connect.
Grow a Mo and Save a Bro - Movember is here!
A number of colleagues from the Men’s Mental Wellbeing listening group have already signed up to grow a mo and help us reach our target of raising £2,000 for The Movember Foundation. So why not spur on our bro's and help the cause by donating?
Follow their progress each week in November and if you want to find out more information click here.

Well done to Kallum from Queensway
Some great Remembrance Day colouring in sheets on show at Mersey Way Food
Mel (colleague) found this gentleman’s wallet on the floor at the coffee shop inside Kingswinford food. He is a Member who is 99 years old and because his Membership card was in his wallet the branch was able to locate his contact details by logging into the Superdividend site. His wallet contained a large amount of cash so he was very grateful.
Great work Mel, helping our communities 😊👏👍
Robbie Harris Personal PT and his team did an Everest Challenge for the Manisha UK Charity.
Bidford on Avon Food was more than happy to sponsor them with water for the thirsty competitors taking part at the local community hall.
Robbie sponsored us, not only monetary, but he supplied the two Watt Bikes we used for our own Defibrillator Charity Challenge. Just another community project we support here in Bidford on Avon.
Well to the Bidford on Avon team and Robbie for helping out!👏😊👍
We came to your store in Moreton in the Marsh on Tuesday 9th November and were served some delicious sausage/bacon/egg rolls created and cooked by Dan. He was very pleasant, welcoming, and obviously enjoying his work with enthusiasm. We commend him as a great employee with good customer relations.
Well done to Dan and the team at Moreton in the Marsh. They received this great customer feedback. 👍😊👏
Roger and Jackie at Stonehouse Food celebrate their service awards. Roger has reached an incredible 40 years and Jackie is just behind with a fantastic 30 years. Well done and enjoy both! 👏😊👍

What is Thumbs Up?👍
‘Thumbs Up’ is our way of celebrating all your heroic efforts by sharing your great work and giving other colleagues the ability to like it.
It could be some great customer feedback you've received, something you've done to help the local community or simply a Thumbs Up to your team!
Just make sure you please take care of social distancing for pictures together as we are also following guidelines on this and hope you are too.
