The evening was a tribute to those who have gone above and beyond with their fundraising efforts, a real change in the lives of carers across the country and a celebration of the incredible £1.8 million raised through the partnership. The event was attended by rank staff and carer trust representatives from all over the country, including CEO Henry Birch and retail director Alan Morgan.
The partnership between Careers Trust and The Rank Group PLC, which owns the Grosvenor Casino and Mecca, first began four years ago. Since then, employees have been working tirelessly to raise funds for this worthy cause through a variety of philanthropy, investing more than 8,500 hours to reach this impressive milestone.
The fund raised was used as a Rank Care Grant fund established to provide financial support to caregivers over the age of 16. The purpose of this fund is to help remove barriers to people by caring roles and reduce some of the stress and isolation that may come with caring.
Since 2014, more than 8,500 caregivers have been helped thanks to the Rank Care Grant program, along with essential equipment, much-needed rest, opportunities to learn new skills, and opportunities to meet other socially isolated caregivers.
Rank Group representatives were proud to have named Grant Holworth of Grosvenor Salford as the overall charity champion and Katherine Tucker (Grosvenor Broad Street), Dan Eid (Grosvenor Portsmouth) and Vicky Parker (The Big) as the nation's top fundraisers.
Rank Group and Carers Trust have also announced that they will continue their partnership through 2018, and have made new fundraising efforts to achieve their remarkable £2 million goal.
Henry Birch, CEO of The Rank Group Plc, said, "The Curious Trust is an organization close to the hearts of many employees, and we are immensely proud to know that we have been able to collectively make such a strong contribution to the charity."
"Our teams have worked very hard throughout the year to run charitable fundraising to help us achieve this impressive milestone, and without their commitment and amazing support from communities across the country, such an achievement would not have been possible."
"We are delighted to know that the charity has contributed in some way to the invaluable help it provides. And we will continue our fundraising efforts to help Carers Trust continue to help amazing unpaid carers in dire need of their support."
Giles Meyer, chief executive of Carers Trust, said: "We have been overwhelmed by the fundraising efforts of Grosvenor Casino and Mecca Bingo. They have done more than that once again and we are excited to continue the partnership into 2018. The reality is that with three in five of us going to be carers at some point in our lives, and with seven million carers already in the UK, staff fundraising plays a crucial role in providing carers with much-needed support."
