About the Vote

The bank's donations are based on The Co-operative Bank credit and debit card turnover from 1st October 2008 to 31st December 2008 and reflect the level of customer votes each organisation receives, without costing you a penny extra.

The total donation will be divided between the five organisations according to the percentage of votes each receives.

Voting will take place from 1 June to 31 July 2008.

About the shortlist

Earlier this year, we invited customers to nominate charities or campaign groups who are working to address human rights for our support. Thanks to everyone who sent letters, telephoned or emailed with nominations. The five short-listed charities and ogranisations were based on your suggestions.
