THE Co-operative has given its support to three groups in Wrexham by donating £1,205 from its community fund.

Young footballers from Johnstown Youth FC and Coedpoeth United FC are playing in new kits thanks to donations of £500 each.

Johnstown Youth FC manager Paul Davies said: “We are pleased with this donation from The Co-operative which has enabled us to buy a new kit for the under-12s team.”

Coedpoeth United FC secretary Carol Edwards said: “The Co-operative sponsored our Under 8s team and has continued to support the players as they have moved up into the under-12s. With this donation we have bought a new kit for the team.”
