Winsford-based Care2Save CEO takes to the Podium

Andrea Fragata Ladeira, CEO of the innovative Winsford-based Care2Save Charitable Trust will be inspiring charities and social enterprises across the UK as she steps onto the stage at the extremely high profile Social Enterprise Conference.

At the Glasdir exhibition centre in North Wales on 1 October, Andrea will share her expertise on the topic of ‘how charities and social enterprises can best compete with established private sector businesses’. Andrea’s presentation will complement the conference’s theme of how learning and development can make the critical difference to how the sector performs.

Care2Save – the new website and service set up just over a year ago, to create an unprecedented new long-term multi-million pound income stream for good causes, has reported significant take-up with UK charities throughout the UK promoting the service to their supporters.

Recent success includes the teaming up with the James Bulger Memorial Trust, established by James’ mother Deinse Fergus, who provides holidays and respite to children who have been victims of crime, hatred or bullying.

Recognising the importance of Care2Save.co.uk as an income generator for the charity, the Liverpool-based Trust launched a campaign to encourage supporters to donate to the inspirational work of the charity at no extra cost to themselves when shopping online with thousands of the UK’s leading high street brands via the www.Care2Save.co.uk portal.

This follows hot on the heels of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity embracing the scheme. It provides first class life saving care to patients across the six counties that the charity’s air ambulances cover. Andrea Fragata Ladeira commented: “I am honoured to be asked to share the experience of our journey with the numerous inspirational attendees at the conference.

“Formulating the concept and operational workings behind Care2Save has been a major project and two years in the making, however we are now seeing the benefits of this with a plethora of top brands coming on board, and the shifting consumer mind-set coming into play.

“Consumers purchasing online with Care2Save.co.uk are able to raise much-needed funds for vital charities that all make a huge difference to the lives of others.”

Care2Save.co.uk has partnered with numerous major names such as Debenhams, Boots, House of Fraser, Monarch and BT, and is actively encouraging consumers to utilise the service, which the Trust recognises as an ideal form of generating extra funds in today’s challenging economic conditions.

The Care2Save.co.uk website is developing rapidly, and has benefitted from a recent relaunch, with a new site incorporating thousands of partners.

Every year UK shoppers spend billions of pounds shopping online, from booking annual holidays, to shopping for clothes and weekly groceries, generating a commission which boosts profits in the corporate sector. As a registered charity Care2Save.co.uk takes 100 per cent of the commission generated on purchases made through www.Care2Save.co.uk and ensures that every penny given stays in the Charity Sector.

80 per cent of the commission made via the Care2Save website will go directly to shoppers’ favourite charity.

The remaining 20 per cent also goes to charity, in the form of the Care2Save Charitable Trust, which will distribute funds to hospices and palliative care projects in the UK and around the world.
