Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children is dedicated to providing guidance and practical support for children with disabilities and their families, and although Newlife is a national charity, every penny raised by Central England Co-operative is helping children in the society’s trading area.

So far, the partnership has raised £1.2 million and helped fund specialist disability equipment for more than 530 children.
