News / Co-op cash raiser
STAFF at the Co-op stores in Lerwick and Brae have banked more than £4,500 for ENABLE Scotland, a charity supporting young people with learning disabilities.
The two stores organised a series of events and collections throughout 2011 which totalled £4,528 when the cash was counted, adding to more than £7 million raised by the Co-op nationwide.
All the cash will go to launch the Inspire Me project to help people learn skills, gain employment or become a volunteer.
Operations manager Steve Stewart congratulated staff in Shetland and thanked customers for their continued support
