RaceTrack Strathclyde convenience store has marked its move to Co-op Wholesale by supporting the local community, with a £500 donation to Townhead Village Hall through Making a Difference Locally (MADL), the charity of Co-op Wholesale.
Located in Glasgow, the store - which now carries Co-op Wholesale’s Proud To Stock Co-op decal - is committed to supporting local causes and making a positive contribution to the area it serves, a release said.
As part of its launch, the store selected Townhead Village Hall on St Mungo Avenue, to receive the donation to support its valuable work in bringing local people together through events, activities and community initiatives.
Charity support
MADL raises funds through the sale of Co-op products in stores such as RaceTrack, enabling retailers to support charities, community groups and good causes in their local area.
Guna Sud, retail manager at RaceTrack Strathclyde, said: “We’re delighted to officially relaunch RaceTrack Strathclyde and mark the first store opening under our new partnership with Co-op Wholesale.
“A huge amount of work’s gone on behind the scenes to bring everything together…”
“A huge amount of work’s gone on behind the scenes to bring everything together, and I’d like to thank the entire Co-op team for their support throughout the process.
“From the initial planning through to launch day, they’ve worked closely with our team to help us deliver a fantastic new look store, an extended range and an even stronger offering for our customers.
“The response on opening day has been fantastic, and we’re really excited about what this partnership can bring as we continue to roll it out across further RaceTrack stores.”
Inclusive space
Isabel Baird, Townhead Village Hall manager, added: “Townhead Village Hall is committed to being a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone in our community. From our football pitches, community café and volunteer-led garden and orchard, to digital skills classes, family activities and volunteering opportunities, we work hard to ensure that people of all ages and backgrounds can access support, build connections and improve their wellbeing.
“This donation will help us continue delivering these opportunities and strengthen our efforts to reach every household in Townhead, so that no one misses out on the support, activities and sense of belonging our hall provides.”
