The Co-operative is asking its members to vote for its charity of the year 2013. Last year it raised £7.2 million for its Charity of the Year 2011 partners Mencap and sister charity ENABLE Scotland.

This year the choice is between disability charity Scope, together with its partner charities Capability Scotland and Cedar in Northern Ireland; and Carers Trust. Both were shortlisted because they each fulfil the Charity of the Year 2013 theme of Inspiring Young People to help alleviate poverty through self-help.

The Co-operative is inviting its members to read the charities’ appeal statements before they cast their vote.

Voting closes on 8 October 2012 and members can vote by phone or online.
