Shake it up

If you’re one of the hundreds of kind people who gives up their Saturday to stand outside the supermarket collecting for charity, then you might be interested in this advice.

Rather than stand outside the entrance, where customers walk straight past you on their way in, stand next to a trolley bay.

I did this last year and collected a lot more money than the usual coppers and small change, as almost everyone donated their one pound coin after returning the trolley. Carol Gasan, Tiverton
