The importance of local communities supporting local causes in the district has been highlighted by Emma Trebble and The Somerset and Wessex Eating Disorders Association (SWEDA).

SWEDA is a local cause that is receiving much needed funds from the Co-op's Local Community Fund, thanks to Co-op Members. In our exclusive interview, Emma talks about how the funding has helped them reach more than 10,000 young people with early intervention work on eating disorders.

She also pays tribute to the charity's volunteers who make the organisation tick and are the beating heart of everything SWEDA does.

When Co-op Members buy own-brand products and services, 2p for every £1 spent goes to support local causes and community organisations.
