Retail staff receive financial support from industry’s CaRe20 appeal
Ted Baker senior sales assistant Lavinia Cretul and TJX Europe worker Paige Norris are among the first beneficiaries of the CaRe20 fund established by the retailTRUST, the BRC and RWRC – home of Retail Week and the World Retail Congress
Launched in April, the CaRe20 appeal has so far raised over £600,000, with funding from retailers including the John Lewis Partnership, TJX Europe and Pets at Home, to support retail staff facing hardship during Covid-19.
Facilitated by retailTRUST, the fund will provide financial, emotional and vocational aid to those retail workers in need with Lavina and Paige having both received non-repayable grants to help them and their families through this difficult time.
