Saints Support Co-Op Scheme
St. Helens stars Chris Flannery, Nick Fozzard and Keiron Cunningham are calling on fans to join them in supporting the innovative scheme launched by The Co-operative that will enable Saints supporters to raise thousands of pounds for the club by pooling their dividend payments.
Saints fans are being encouraged to join the scheme and have their Co-operative dividend paid directly to the club’s community trust. All engage Super League clubs, apart from Catalans Dragons, and 22 The Co-operative National League clubs are eligible to be included in the membership initiative as long as they have a community programme arm to their club.
Members of The Co-operative receive a share of profits based on the points they earn when they trade at any of the Group’s businesses, which include: The Co-operative Food; Travel; Pharmacy and Funeralcare as well as The Co-operative Bank, The Co-operative Insurance, Sunwin Motors and on all purchases made online at www.co-operative.coop. The Co-operative paid out a total of £38.1m in dividend in 2007.
In addition, Paul Sculthorpe, St. Helens captain, said: “The Co-operative rugby league membership scheme is tremendous news for St.Helens. It will provide support to the club for many years to come by promoting community participation in the sport, improving facilities and the health of the public. It’s so easy for fans to sign up and take advantage of the scheme, whilst knowing they’re doing their bit for the growth of the club and rugby league.”
The Co-operative Group’s Sponsorship Manager, Liz Matkin, added: “We are confident that The Co-operative Rugby League membership scheme will raise millions of pounds in the coming years, which will be invested by community trusts to support the ongoing development of the game – and we’re delighted that players such as Chris, Nick, Keiron and Paul share our enthusiasm for the scheme.
“Rugby league’s foundations are in local communities and The Co-operative is committed to supporting these with the community being very much at the core of our brand values.”
