Cancer Research UK has appealed for volunteers to hold cash collections at over 
800 Tesco stores across this UK later this month. It expects to raise £500,000 from
the three day campaign which will run from Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 
October.

 

The Big Tesco Cash Collections Weekend forms part of Cancer Research UK’s charity
of the year partnership with Tesco.

The charity has appealed for over 7,000 volunteers. They are being asked to commit
to a three hour stint e.g. 9am-12pm, 12pm-3pm or 3pm-6pm.

 

Those selected will receive a detailed volunteer brief in advance of the collection
event, along with other communications in the run up to the activity, and a branded
T-shirt to wear while volunteering. They will also be given a dedicated Cancer Research
UK contact with whom they can discuss any queries they might have on the day.
