Co-op's Value Creation and Sourcing Optimisation teams are joining forces next month to raise funds for Barnado's.

Supporting young people is a big part of our vision of Co-operating for a Fairer World. Our aim is to support young people to access basic needs like food, manage their mental wellbeing and take advantage of opportunities for their future.

23% of young people have started the day without a meal.

41% of young people have worried about their mental wellbeing in the last 6 months.

Young people are not optimistic with 59% saying there are few opportunities for them in life.

We think the next generation deserve a better future, so Co-op has teamed up with Barnardo’s to bring communities together to support young people.

We will be climbing Snowdon on the 19th September, hiking the Pyg track from Pen y Pass, which is the most rugged and challenging route to the summit.

Please help us to support this incredible charity and a huge thank you in advance for any support or donations.
