Children’s charity Barnardo’s is hoping to recruit 14,000 volunteers to take part
in a public collection outside Tesco stores, with the aim of raising £250,000.
The
charity is asking volunteers, as well as staff and service users over 16, to commit
two hours of their time to collect outside their local Tesco store on Friday 29 
or Saturday 30 September 2006.

Collections will take place in around 738 UK Tesco stores, excluding petrol stations
and Express stores.

Andrew Nebel, UK Director of Communications at Barnardo’s said; ‘This is the biggest
volunteer request we have undertaken recently and we are reliant on the generosity
of the UK public to make this a success.
