This month the Co-operative Bank has donated through its Customers Who Care campaign, over £100,000 to five trade justice charities.
The five charities were nominated and voted for by customers. The successful charities this year were ActionAid, People & Planet, Traidcraft, War on Want, and the World Development Movement.
Since the launch of Customers Who Care in 1994, the Co-operative Bank has donated more than £3 million to over 80 charities and organisations.

For every £100 customers spend on Co-operative Bank Visa credit and debit cards, the bank donates 1.25p to its campaign fund.
The next round of donations will be made at the end of 2006 so charities should encourage any Co-op Bank customers amongst their supporters to nominate them.
