£4m raised and we’re going BIGGER than ever!
Together we’ve reached a huge milestone; because of colleagues, members, customers, suppliers and our communities we have now raised an incredible £4m for our partnership with Barnardo’s. Thank you for helping us fund local community services and online support to help over 200,000 young people so far.
Following the launch of the partnership’s report ‘Recipe for Success’, the Government has announced it’s extending the Holiday and Food programme, which was due to end in March. This is something we had called for through the partnership.
And we’re not finished yet. To celebrate and help us reach our £5m target to support positive futures for 750,000 young people, we’ve gone even bigger during our ‘Go BIG for Barnardo’s fundraising week’ (9 – 15 Feb).
Spot a partnership truck
Keep an eye out for our brand-new partnership branded trucks hitting the road from this week. The two double decker trucks from our logistic partner, Buffaload, will be travelling the length and breadth of the UK delivering fresh food to our depots and promoting the work our partnership is doing.
If you spot them on the road or out and about pop a post on social media and tag @coopuk and @buffaload_logistics.
The trucks feature Tiffany (10) and Rubi (11) from our Co-op and Barnardo’s Telford Service, CALM, which has been funded thanks to the money raised by colleagues, Co-op Members and customers. Watch the video below to learn more about CALM and the impact our partnership is having on young people in the local community.
Shop the Barnardo’s Freezer Takeover
We’ve got some great brands helping us reach our £5m target too. From 12 Feb to 4 March, Häagen-Dazs, Goodfellas, McCain, Nuii and Wall’s are taking over a freezer to support our partnership with a combined £100,000 donation*. So, pop instore and treat yourselves to one of the products knowing your purchase is supporting positive futures for young people.
