£4K TIPPED

A stall outside Tesco in Faringdon in late August raised £350, tipping the branch to just over £4K for the year.

Chair Dave Thompson says: "Whichever Tesco we go to there's always perpetual footfall and customers are so generous."

With help from Roger Watts, Kieran Graham and Danielle and Tim Mills the stall was manned for over eight hours.

Next up is Tesco in Abingdon on September 27 and Dave is confident of another good result, saying: "We took £445 there in May and it's always a very busy store."
