We often shop at Waitrose in Towcester so it was great to recently see that The Friends of the National Waterways Museum at Stoke Bruerne had been nominated as one of the three charities selected to participate in the Waitrose Community Matters Scheme at the Towcester Store.
During January everyone shopping will be given a token at the checkout, which can be placed in one of three boxes at the store exit, each allocated to a different cause.
The amount a cause receives from a total of £1,000 is directly proportional to the number of tokens placed in each box by customers.
Every coin in a box counts towards the total donation the museum will received. At the moment the Friends are just in the lead. Good news.
