RVV members staged the annual Redditch street collection for
Animal Aid on Sat 30th June. Not
only did we collect inside the Kingfisher Centre, we also held an
information stall inside.
The Animal Aid permit to collect included within
the very busy Kingfisher Shopping Centre. With it being an awfully wet day,
we jumped at the opportunity to set up our information stall inside too.
Sadly, there were only 3 collectors this year, less than half the number we
normally have, so we only managed to raise £91 for Animal Aid`s campaigns.
But there was lots of interest in the stall during the 4.5 hours it was
there. Positioned so that our banner faced the shoppers streaming through
the main doors, we were seen by several thousand people through the day,
many of whom came over to take leaflets, newsletters etc and chat about
veggie/veganism!
