We have been lucky enough to have been selected to benefit from the Co-Op Community Fund, this is a way that the members of the public can make donations to a good cause without having to put their hand in their pocket. Anything brought from the Co-Op group will generate a donation to the 1st Roffey cause, so please encourage all your family and friends to select 1st Roffey as their cause of choice with their Co-Op rewards card.

Bingo Night 2018 Update
