**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.
