A community charity band I was involved in was given rough treatment by Tesco a couple of years ago despite being invited by Tesco themselves!
Tesco give Band the Christmas cold shoulder - Local - Blackpool Gazette
Needless to say the local Asda promptly invited the band to play and collect in their store on 2 days before Xmas, was invited back last year and have a standing invitation, mince pies included.

It is worth noting that Tesco's could make donations at any time they wish - not making one iota of difference to their bottom line. £1.7billion a few months ago.
They need to ask themselves a few questions about diplomacy, necessity, need - and management skills. There is a war that is ongoing and extra funds are always required. They should ask H4H. I personally think they are way out of order - WHATEVER THEIR REASON IS.

Tesco's are dammed if they do, dammed if they don't
Can't help thinking Tescos are on rather dodgy ground, the freely given charity donations were given to RAFA, NOT the Alzheimer's Society however good that august organisation may be.
I would suspect that this 'freedom' to collect would be delegated to the store manager's discretion. This has sadly had the opposite effect than the one most participants envisaged. There are no winners here, the store, RAFA or AS.
Now that IS sad.

Mais oui mon ami, c'est le chien 'Digger'. A bientôt.
Shame about what's happened here because the incense caused by this doesn't do much good - and frankly, Tesco have 'missed a trick'.

Whether any of us like it or not you will find that there will be a sizeable proportion of Tesco customers and employees who do not agree with the War, half their stores are outside of the UK.
While people may again say so what !! I think anybody who has a pension plan or investments would disagree as Tesco has a sizeable proportion of UK pension fund investment for the future which relies on the success of Tesco worldwide.
As someone has already stated Tesco contributed £70 million directly to charities as well as lots of indirect support.
Its not Tesco's job to give to charities because Govts refuses to provide properly for ex service personnel.
Luckily, as an officer, I only shop at Waitrose - which is of course "By Royal Appointment"...
Lidls is well represented here though!
I see the regular chestnut about the RBL being stopped from selling poppies in various area for fear of offending ethnic minorities has surfaced again on F Book. No good presenting the outraged with the facts, their minds are made up 
It's all very well Tescos and RAFA to agree to jointly collect for the Wings Appeal and for the Alzheimer's Society, but unless that is made perfectly clear at the point of collection and/or by the collectors, then the Alzheimer's Society is getting money from people under false pretences, as they would be under the impression that all that they give is for the Wings Appeal.
