Donations

This time last year, I had several weekday collection dates at my local Tesco superstore.Donations averaged out at £240 per day.
This year, I have just completed my sixth day out of this years' allocation and find the average is down to £190 so far.
Anybody else finding this. Sign of the times? or H4H no longer high up on peoples agenda.Need some good publicity.

Averaging around the £200 a day at the local B&Q. The sunshine on Saturday bucked the trend at around £260.

Switch supermarket.
I helped out a local team at a sainsbury.
No gimmicks, no merchandise just 4 people with buckets and they got approx 1000/day

Have to admit Tony, Tesco was never profitable for us. Sainsbury and Asda always beat them hands down. Having said that, I think the general trend is that people are having to be a bit more astute in who they give their money to. Some prefer to give a smaller amount to more charities rather than one larger amount to a single charity.
However, you've done well so far - congratulations.

I have beeen talking to a few of the charity collectors up here, the same story collections are a bit down but not by much.
