No, I'm afraid that so far there are no more collections in that area.
Coincidentally I also have a wedding on 7 July! Although just an evening invitation. But I'll manage along to collect some cash before heading out for the evening.
I have written many letters requesting can collections, but have been turned down by most of them.
This one and a further one on September 13, at Asda, St Rollox are the only collections I have been able to secure so far.
I will keep plodding away and hopefully will be able to get another couple of dates.
Joyce - just wondered if you'd written to Asda, Cumbernauld - they have can collections outside the store regularly for all sorts of charities? Or there's a big Tesco at Cumbernauld, too! Lots of people are visiting now the new part of the Town Centre is open.

ps Not sure if I can make the Livingston collection - I'll have to ask 'he who drives'!
aaaah! I seriously want to make this. I am considering ditching the wedding for it. Buying an expensive outfit to wear for one day with folk I hardly know versus a day out collecting money with my boy? I know what I want to do

Thanks again for your offer of help. I will be in touch with you before the end of the week. I have just got back from a week's holiday and this is the first chance I've had to see the forum.
It is with much pleasure that I can announce that the total collected at Asda Livingston yesterday is: £284.10
Huge thanks to: Marie and Mason, Diane and Bella, Jennifer with Willow and Millie, Carolyn and Flash and Rhona and Sophie!Thanks also to Linda, who despite suffering with a very bad neck accompanied me to make sure that I didn't get lost! She is a great co-driver! It was a day of sunshine and very sharp showers! There were lots of families doing their weekly shopping. They not only took the time to put some cash in the collecting cans, but also showed a lot of interest in the gorgeous dogs, who as usual were the stars of the day. Which is absolutely fine! They all behaved impeccably and are a credit to their owners.
