I had to withdraw my offer of collecting at a large Tesco, not in the city where I live, but in a nearby town, as I'm needed to support a person who is attempting to run all the summits mentioned in Wainwright guides to Lake District for MS charities. I hope it would be easier to recruit people to shake buckets, than wait at odd roadside places at all hours of day and night to dispense food, drink, clean clothing, medical dressings etc.

However, I'd like to mention that a nearby large Tesco is very supportive of a foodbank where I volunteer. We distribute from a chuch nearby, and the manager often calls round with donations from staff, particularly Easter eggs recently, and they often have to phone office to say bin needs emptying of food left by customers.
 
I am collecting at the Tesco in our neighbouring town, but we are also short on volunteers this year. There are two reasons I think contributing to the lack of volunteers - 1. it's Father's Day (earlier this year than usual because the1st of June was a Sunday), and 2. it's the World Cup - though England aren't playing till 11pm........so customers might be thin on the ground on Sunday morning.
 
Well well done "REDKITE". I don't think people know how well Tesco staff need a pat on the back for this 😎😎😎
 
What you are saying about Tesco staff is true Copepod. I work in lots of retail shops etc & have never come across a better set of staff 😎. Its not to late to sign up for this weekend 😉
 
Have done two days now with good success 😎 Last day tomorrow & its Fathers day. Shop doesn't open till 10 🙂 & closes at 4. So shorter day. Met some lovely people & enjoyed. 😎😎
 
What a lovely person ! Just opened first tub & to be greeted by a £20 note & lots of coins. 😉😉
 
Excellent Day. Met more lovely people & enjoyed ! Fire alarm went off in store so staff got everyone out safe & sound. Seemed like a fault on system but had to stand outside for 1hr. That was early on in day & being fathers day I wished I had stopped in bed "BUT". Had an ex day 😎
 
Well well done to the 3000 volunteers who took part in this. You ALL need to take a bow 😎
 
The TOTAL so far is £210,000 from the 3000 volunteers who took part in this at Tesco. Well done everyone who donated time & money 😎😎
 
With the help of "TESCO" we raised £16 million last year ! Really good for us lot.😎
 
Not long for this years event ! Inc "British Heart Foundation" 13 / 14 June. Sat & Sun 🙂 Be part of it pls 🙂
 
Have a look at some of the posts from others, a lot of money raised. A very good team looking for a cure got £1.2 mill from Duk last year. I really like the team at NEWCASTLE UNI ! NUC 😎 A very positive bunch 😉
 
Getting ready for todays event 🙂 Will there both days. You meet some lovely people 😎
 
Left the house at 8 & was there till 6.30 😎 Was an excellent day with the Brilliant General Public ! I feel like I spent all day giving kids (& big kids 🙂) stickers ! The wonderful "Tesco" staff are the best ! Had a few conversations with lots of them & they are so helpful 😎. They were raising money in there staff canteen ! A real nice bunch of people from Manager to fella collecting trollies. You might think I am sad but I bought a bottle of Dandelion & Burdock. I must have been about 15 the last time I had that (Brill). A GOOD DAY !
 
Great news Hobie, well done - you deserved that D&B for your hard work 🙂 Didn't know they still made it!
 
Another excellent day with "The Great British" Public ! 😎 from smiling kids to pensioners. Enjoyed 🙂 a shorter day sill 9.30-4.30 Tesco staff very helpful 😉
 
Its that time of year again :D Its on in sept at TESCO. I have had email to register & its easy to get your name down for a couple of hours. Team Leader or helper ? 😎😎😎
 
Please if you can have a look at your local area it is a good day out 🙂🙂. We always get people to join our local Duk as well 😎
