2025 Share Offer Closed!

Community Shares and Booster Fund logos

We’re thrilled to share the exciting news that we’ve successfully completed our 2025 share offer!

As of 14th August, we’d received share applications totalling £161,250.  We’re also proud to announce that we’ve been offered £25,782 in equity match investment from the Community Shares Booster Fund, which is delivered by Co-operatives UK and partners.  We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved for their support.
 


With a small contribution from GMCR’s funds, that means we have enough to install solar arrays at three schools: The Divine Mercy RC Primary School in Manchester, Springwood Primary School’s Swinton site (an extension to our existing array) and their Craig Hall site in Irlam.

Next steps

We have a few more consents that we need to secure before we can make a start on installing the solar arrays.  We’ll send a further update when we have more news, and in the meantime, please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions – info@gmcr.org.uk
