On Saturday 17th February, it’s time to show some love with Co-op and Go BIG for Barnardo’s. Come to our Fete at Barnardos charity shop on Gold Street, Wellingborough, 10am-4pm. We will have a tombola and cake stall, plus loads of pre-loved items outside (and inside) the shop.
The money we raise will help support 750,000 young people with immediate needs from the cost of living impacts and future needs to improve life chances and social mobility. By the age of 15, 95% of children use social media, and on average 15-16 year-olds use it for almost 5 hours a day*. Young people use social media to search for information and advice but content can be unreliable and even unsafe.
The Co-op partnership with Barnardos raised over £1.5m last year! Our partnership is working with young people to use social media to produce safe, reliable and shareable online support that can be accessed by any community, on access to food, mental wellbeing and taking advantages of opportunities for the future. We’re also delivering in-depth support through services in communities that need it most.
Join us on Saturday 17th February and Go BIG for Barnardo’s on Gold Street, Wellingborough, 10am-4pm!
