Chelmsford Star Co-operative belongs to its members, whilst our members belong to the communities in which we serve.
They should actively participate in the running of the Society, through forums and elections, and support the ethical and co-operative values that underpin our business. In return, they will share in our successes via a share of our profits, and through special member discount events.

Every year our employees vote to choose a charity for the society "Charity of the Year", this year we have chosen to sponsor Essex Dementia Care. Essex Dementia Care is a local charity that supports dementia sufferers, carers and families, enabling them to maintain a good quality of life.
Throughout each year we get involved with our chosen charity of the year by raising money through events at our stores, shops and funeral homes, and by asking for sponsors for all sorts of activities.

Co-operatives are a means for people collectively to 'do it for themselves', whether responding to a market opportunity, or meeting a need that would not be otherwise met by the private or public sector. They engage people in their own solutions and enable members to share the risks and development costs of the business. They also draw from the knowledge, skills and expertise that diverse members bring.

The death of a family member or friend can be one of the most traumatic experiences in anyone’s life and many people find it hard to come to terms with such a loss. Whilst most people find the strength to cope with the bereavement immediately following a death, it is after the funeral when life is supposed to return to normal that many experience the natural effects of grief. Coping with bereavement is often a solitary process, often faced without the aid of family or professional help.
