**The Medicash Charitable Trust has announced that it will support local Liverpool-
based children’s charity**** **[**KIND**](http://kind.org.uk/)** ****for the next
ten years.**

A long-term supporter of the charity, the Trust has signed up to its new Investor
Programme, which aims to encourage existing and new donors to contribute £1000 a
year for 10 years. As a member of the programme, the Trust will give an annual donation
to fund the charity’s Christmas food hampers that help local families in need over
the festive period. In 2015, the Trust’s £3,000 donation funded 50 large family 
Christmas hampers.

KIND is inviting more organisations to sign up to providing the charity with long-
term support through its Investor Programme, which it launched last year, its 40th
birthday, to help it achieve its aim of increasing sustainability. It is hoping 
to recruit 300+ members ranging across businesses, individuals, and community groups.
