The Co-operative hit the
right note with unpaid young adult carers today (24 January) as it
launched a 'record' breaking year of fundraising for its new charity of
the year, Carers Trust.
Helping
to get fundraising activities 'rock 'n' rolling', The Co-operative were
joined for the launch by singer, songwriter and actress, Jade Ewen, a
young adult carer herself who gave up her birthday to attend the launch
and support other young carers.
The charity – which formed last
year when The Princess Royal Trust for Carers and Crossroads Care came
together – will benefit from The Co-operative's 100,000 staff aiming to
raise £5m to tackle feelings of isolation and provide desperately needed
breaks, information, advice and support for 14-25 year-olds facing the
challenge of caring.
