Young carers are children aged 5 to 12 who look after a sick or disabled parent or sibling. There are 800,000 young carers in England and Wales and 100,000 in Scotland. There is a great need for our support services.
Corporate and Community Fundraising has always been an area of fundraising where Honeypot has succeeded. We have had corporate supporters such as a £1M COTY partnership with Bank of America, a national campaign with The Body Shop, and a major partnership with Munich Re, along with a portfolio of over 50 leading companies in long-term funding relationships with Honeypot. We now seek to replicate this success over time in Scotland.
