In preparation for the Rescue Remedies sponsored walk, I've been contacting loads of companies for freebies (to sell/give as prizes)

I contacted my local Waitrose supermarket and it turns out they have an initiative at all their local stores. You fill out a local community leaflet (can get correct name if anyone is interested) with details of why you want money, and they have some local groups/charities nominated each month.
Shoppers get a token and when they go through the checkout they vote for the group theyre most interested in with their token.
Each month, £1,000.00 from Waitrose is then split between the 3 groups with the most votes.
SO GET TO YOUR LOCAL WAITROSE NOW AND FILL OUT A FORM FOR RESCUE REMEDIES!!!

Cheers
Sam

Have just filled this form out for my local Waitrose
It's for local groups, and not just charities
So go-on.. It's worth a try!!

Anyone else got a local Waitrose they could try? I tried Canary Wharf and they gave me some excuses - so am definitely going to hit them again next week Very Happy

Maybe if we both hit them, Sharon? They might bow under intense pressure (i am sure i can get some more of my office peeps to drop a form off!)

A little bird told me ... Waitrose called today and we have been nominated for their community matters award initiative! Our details will be up for a month together with two other local community projects and then each will receive share of 1K!

Chuffed to bits! Thanks Sam for putting a form in and pushing me to do it too! Very Happy

PS Got anything else up your sleeve? Laughing

Am checking with Dee to see which one it is so we can ask anyone nearby to support it. Wink
