We’re excited to share that Young Carers Development Trust has been selected for the Tesco Stronger Starts in-store vote — and we need your help!
From Tuesday 28th April 2026 until the end of July 2026, you can support young carers in your community simply by shopping at Tesco.
đź›’ How to vote (it takes 10 seconds!)
Next time you’re in Tesco:
- Make any purchase (no minimum spend)
- You’ll receive a blue token at the checkout
- Drop your token into the Young Carers Development Trust voting box
That’s it 💙
đź“Ť Where you can vote
You’ll find us in the following stores:
- Trowbridge Eastbourne Road Express (BA14 7HW)

đź’™ What your vote will support
If we receive the most votes, we’ll be awarded funding to provide mentoring, education support and life-changing opportunities to young carers who need it most.
With your support, young carers can:
- Access one-to-one mentoring and practical support
- Build confidence and raise their aspirations
- Feel less isolated and improve their wellbeing
- Focus on their future, not just their caring role
Young carers often miss out on education and opportunities because of the responsibilities they carry.
🗳️ Why it matters
The project with the most votes will receive up to £1,500 — and every single token makes a difference.
It might feel like a small action, but it can have a big impact on a young person’s life.
🙌 Please spread the word
You can help even more by:
- Sharing this page with friends and family
- Mentioning us if you know someone shopping locally
- Giving us a shout on social media
đź’¬ A quick thank you
We’re so grateful to everyone who takes a moment to vote for us while doing their weekly shop. Your support helps young carers feel more confident, less isolated, and more hopeful about their future.
👉 Next time you’re in Tesco, don’t forget your blue token! 💙
