We approached all the big supermarkets in Swindon to ask for permission to collect for the charity event I'm involved in. Only Sainsburys at Bridgemead were of any help, and all we had to do was prove we were collecting for a registered charity (we have letters from charities) and choose a date that we wanted to collect.
There were some dates that Sainsburys book out for the like of the RBL but other than that we were free to choose.
Tesco and Asda were not interested at all!
Have you considered the likes of Homebase and B&Q too?
And how about football and rugby matches local and big league?
