The Co-op is inviting people based in Arnold to come together and share their views on what more could be done to help their community thrive.
The event – hosted at the Co-op Food store on Beckhampton Road, 12pm on Wednesday, October 29 – will offer a chance to exchange ideas and discuss how co-operation can help revitalise the local economy and strengthen community spirit.
Part of Co-op’s On Your Corner, In Your Corner campaign, the event will include refreshments and activities designed to spark conversations about the role small businesses play in the neighbourhoods they serve.
Those joining will also have a chance to put their ideas forward to Co-op, on what more it can do to support where they live.
The event is designed and hosted by Maigan Frecknall – a ‘Member Activator’ living in the area, who works closely with local Co-op members and others to deliver initiatives on the issues that matter most to them.
Fay Bowden is the national member activator manager at Co-op, supporting Member Activators across the UK.

She said: “Everyone is really looking forward to bringing people together and having those meaningful discussions that could really benefit their wider community.
“We hope these events help everyone – including those at our Co-op – understand more about the challenges facing high streets and local economies today, so we can develop solutions together.”
