Sainsbury’s appointed them as their charity of the year and deputy store manager Mike MacNeil.

Ben Blackman, Chief Executive of Carers Central said: “We are so thankful to everyone at Sainsbury’s Deepdale for everything they have done to help us.

“Been a small charity every penny really makes a difference and this money will help give unpaid carers a well paid break. Been a carer is a tough job, we want to relieve some of that pressure whether it be an evening meal, a cinema trip or even an opportunity to socialise with other carers.”
