Wyevale, “the UK’s leading gardening specialist”, is offering customers a 20 per
cent discount on garden tools when they bring in their old ones that will then be
donated to Feed the Children, a charity that helps people in Africa grow a better
future. The “Garden Tool Amnesty” is being advertised in national newspapers and
runs from February 16 to February 24. Strangely, news of the promotion isn’t covered
on either partners’ websites.

Whilst not on the scale of the M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange, it does go to show
that smaller charities are able to establish corporate partnerships with major retail
chains. In particular, it’s also another example of a trend towards retailers starting
to work in partnership with international causes.
