Tesco- Its a long shot

The event Im organising in May is for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

I have just noticed that Tesco holds Marie Curie as its "Charity of the Year". I am considering contacting them, to see if they would be willing to donate anything towards the raffle/ event.

The problem I have is that I can not find any suitable contact details and if i make the request to the customer services department, it will no doubt just get lost in transit!!

Anyone have any advice on the best course of action to take?

Cheers

    The Customer service centre in Dundee might be a good shot. Most mail is routed thru there anyway:

    Tesco CSC
    Baird Avenue
    Dundee

    Go into your local store and ask to speak to the Duty Manager and ask them, if they can't help with a donation/raffle prize or similar they should be able to give you the details of someone who can help.

    Tesco are pretty good at supporting local events.

    I agree with Edinburghlass, just go in and ask at the CS desk. IME Tesco are more generous than the other supermarkets (though obviously it's worth trying them all anyway!)
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.
  • if you can find any contact details for public relations then that might be useful too
