Trekstock, raises money through music and fashion and we were delighted to hold an official launch party on 17th March 2010 to celebrate becoming a registered charity.
The evening officially began in London’s No 11 Downing Street with some very special guests including the RT Hon Alistair Darling, Maggie Darling, Mark Ronson, Henry Holland, Amy Molyneaux, Andy Burrows, Gordon Richardson, Lola Lennox and live performances from the truly amazing upcoming talents of Goldheart Assembly and Rox.
Speaking after the launch the Chancellor, Alistair Darling MP said:
“Trekstock is a great example of how enthusiastic people working together can make a huge difference. Maggie and I were delighted to welcome Tretstock to No11 and we wish them well as they continue to raise money and awareness for such a crucial cause.”
The Charity’s success is an inspirational template of how to market to teenagers;
traditionally a hard to reach age group. It is a warm and inviting brand, conveying a positive message that celebrities all over the world from Kings of Leon to Oasis have been proud to support it since its humble beginnings. Through affiliations with music and fashion – we aim to provide a platform to reach and educate young people and raise money for a very worthwhile cause.
Trekstock’s new charity partner Cancer Research UK has recognised the Trekstock charity’s potential to reach young people, to educate them and make them aware of issues that unfortunately can be so vital in their lives, yet in a cool way that they can relate to.
