Their support, dedication and fundraising activities have allowed us to continue supporting children and young people across the UK and we couldn't be more grateful. Over the course of the partnership, the generosity of both Coinstar colleagues and customers has been overwhelming. We're looking forward to working together and changing the lives of young people for many more years to come."
