Are You Planning a Summer of New Experiences?

Share your ‘must-do’ list online

Those planning on sleeping under the stars or swimming with dolphins this summer holiday will be achieving one of the top-rated things to do during a lifetime.

People staying at home, could still try growing their own vegetables, going to a festival or even getting up early with a loved one to watch the sunrise.

All these experiences have been listed in the top 101 things to do during your lifetime, compiled by The Co-operative from its customers’ suggestions of their most valued ‘must-do’ experiences of all time.

Adeline Bibby, Marketing Manager from The Co-operative Wills & Funeral Planning, said: “Everyone’s list of the things they’d like to experience in life is so different and it is these differences which make us who we are as individuals.

“We’re trying to capture all the ‘must-do’ experiences that people want to achieve in their lives. So, we’ve created a website where people can go and share the things they would most like to do so that it is there to inspire them, share with their loved ones and even to leave for future generations to see.”

“Besides the holidays and experiences, one of the most important things on peoples’ lists is to take care of their loved ones. And there are practical steps you can take to do this, for example by creating a Will or arranging a Funeral Plan – both of which can be done with The Co-operative. Of course, that is in addition to the trip of a lifetime.”
