WAITROSE has refused to allow charities to collect at its supermarkets

WAITROSE has refused to allow charities to collect at its two supermarkets, it has been confirmed.

Representatives of charitable organisations said they were disappointed by the stance.

But a Waitrose spokesman said it was company policy for the majority of community support to be through its monthly Community Matters scheme due to the high volume of requests it received.

Despite the ban on general collections, the supermarket confirmed it would allow Royal British Legion volunteers to fund raise outside its branches during Poppy Appeal Week. (from GEP)
