Rachel, Andy and Chris from Goodgym Solihull helped Solihull Age UK fundraising in Tescos . First up was Rachel from 2-3, Rachel and Charlotte (a volunteer from AgeUK)took their strategic positions with collection buckets and stickers. A steady stream of donations followed, Chris and Andy took over at 3-4 ,we did not shake our buckets once honest.. we had quite a few good conversations about Goodgym and AgeUk with the shoppers. I even got invited to dinner! (an annual volunteers dinner). Time flew, it is surprising how few people use real cash these days!. Becky from AgeUK arrived at 4 to collect our buckets and was really pleased at our efforts- not that it was a competition but Rachel and My bucket was ever so slightly lighter- must be the notes! A great afternoons work well done team.
