CARE International is one of the world’s largest independent relief and development organisations, working in more than 70 countries and benefiting over 45 million poor and marginalised people.
They are a practical, hands-on organisation with thousands of programmes around the world dealing with the wide range of issues that keep people trapped in poverty – from HIV and AIDS, discrimination and a lack of clean water to not being able to make a decent living or living in slums.
They are not looking for quick fixes, but lasting solutions. CARE often tackles the wider systems of government or business in order to make change happen. Wherever we work, our focus is on making positive and lasting changes to people’s lives and reducing their long-term dependency.

Founded in 2006, Trekstock has raised thousands of pounds for Teenage Cancer Trust. The idea originated when its founder, Sophie Epstone, signed up for a Teenage Cancer Trust trek to Everest. To raise money, she conceived the idea to put on a little music gig, pushing her to visit the UK festivals, spread the word about Teenage Cancer Trust and promote the event using her now cult 'I ? Trekstock' blue badges. The message grew far and wide, as did the support from world famous artists and celebrities.
Since then, the Trekstock brand has gained invaluable celebrity support from artists and celebrities such as Beth Ditto, Mark Ronson, Katy Perry, Bloc Party, Mischa Barton, Noel Gallagher, Chase Crawford, Jason Mraz, Kings of Leon, Agyness Deyn, The Klaxons, Band of Horses, Jack & Kelly Osbourne, Kate Nash, Carl Barat, Bat for Lashes, Russell Brand, Razorlight, The Mighty Boosh, The Horrors, Radio 1's Chris Moyles, Zane Lowe and Nihal, Kimberly Stewart, Sadie Frost, Jimmy Carr, Johnny Vegas, The Mystery Jets, Alan Carr, even Maggie Darling! Plus many, many more.
Trekstock has had a presence promoting Teenage Cancer Trust at all of the UK's biggest and best festival including Glastonbury, Bestival, V Festival, Leeds Festival, The Mighty Boosh Festival, Underage, O2 Wireless and Hard Rock Calling.
