Macclesfield Nub News is teaming up with your local Co-op in the next stage of a new partnership that will bring more community news and events to your doorstep.

This partnership will create a space where the people of Macclesfield can report on all the amazing local stories happening every day, helping to lift spirits and well-being. The Co-op is built on a set of principles that promote fairness, equality, honesty and community – four values Karl Hancock, as CEO, has built into Nub News.

"Our Co-op Community Chat will be the garden gate over which we all used to chatter. No story is too small, no event unimportant – we want to celebrate all the phenomenal work that the people of Macclesfield do" said Karl.

Our journalists will be working with the Co-op Member Pioneers, as well as colleagues from Co-op Funeralcare homes and at Co-op stores to highlight the good work that's going on. We will also be introducing readers to the excellent Local Causes benefiting from every member who shops at Co-op.

As well as publishing news from our journalists, Nub News will be calling on readers to report details of local news stories of all shapes and sizes via the unique 'Nub it' button. We want to make sure we keep Macclesfield updated on the stories that matter most to you.

Nub News has already proved its worth to communities by its highly-praised local reporting and initiatives that support communities through the coronavirus pandemic.

"Now, with the help and support of the Co-op, we can do even more. We will be reaching out even further into the communities we serve and promoting standards and values of service – just like the Co-op – of the very highest quality" said Karl.

Tom Lakeman, Senior Marketing Manager at Co-op said: "community lies at the heart of Co-op and now more than ever we need to help bring people together to support each other. Whether it's helping our customers to get vital supplies or just connecting them with someone to talk to, the Co-op is continuing to serve its customers and communities and it's great partnerships such as this that will help us reach those that need it."

Sam Bradley, manager of the Buxton Road Co-op store, said: "This partnership with Nub News is about bringing us closer to the community and also letting people know that they can come to the Co-op and ask for support.

"We like to be the hub for customers and people who live nearby to come together and collaborate. Macclesfield Nub News is a great way for us to get that message out there to the local community."

Macclesfield Nub News looks forward to working with the Co-op's colleagues and customers as we ensure that the brightest and most inspiring stories in our area get the coverage they deserve.
