The Central England Co-op has launched a new call and collect service to help members pick up food and essential goods.

The service will see members call a dedicated number and place their order. Their local store will then pick and pack the order that day before having ready to be collected in the afternoon the day after.

The member or a nominated person will then visit the store and collect the shopping. Payment will be taken over the phone from the retailer’s head office.

Items available to order include everything from fresh food to cupboard essentials.

Debbie Robinson, Central England Co-op Chief Executive, said: “As a Co-operative Society, supporting our members is at the heart of what we do. We know some Members may need help in getting the food they need during these uncertain times.

“This is why we have launched our call and collect service, exclusively for Members who may need that help.

“All Members have to do is follow some simple steps and they, or a nominated person, will be able to place an order and pick it up with ease.

Editor’s note: first and foremost - and rarely have I written down these words with more sincerity - I hope this finds you well.

Almost certainly you are here because you value the quality and the integrity of the journalism produced by The Yorkshire Post’s journalists - almost all of which live alongside you in Yorkshire, spending the wages they earn with Yorkshire businesses - who last year took this title to the industry watchdog’s Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain accolade.

And that is why I must make an urgent request of you: as advertising revenue declines, your support becomes evermore crucial to the maintenance of the journalistic standards expected of The Yorkshire Post. If you can, safely, please buy a paper or take up a subscription. We want to continue to make you proud of Yorkshire’s National Newspaper but we are going to need your help.
