The town’s Waitrose supermarket donated the money to Gloucestershire Young Carers through its token system, which sees customers vote for which charity they want to support.
The organisation – one of two charities chosen by Cotswold District Council leader Cllr Sir Edward Horsfall (Con, Ampney-Coln) to benefit from fundraising events through 2012 and 2013 – supports people under 25 who act as carers for members of their family.
