Voluntary Action Coventry staff picked up their Coventry 4 Good T’ shirts and collection buckets this morning en route to Sainsbury’s in Trinity Street to promote the initiative with shoppers and raise funds for local good causes in the City. 

Staff spoke with people as they entered and left the store, sharing information about Coventry 4 Good as well as helping shoppers to pack their bags.  A couple of the team even helped one customer carry their purchase of garden furniture to the taxi rank.

Many shoppers stopped to find out more about the collection and were really generous with their donations.  One lady said ‘It’s great to be able to contribute funds to help groups in Coventry, although I am too old to volunteer now I know how hard volunteers work and it’s nice to be able to support them’
