Well.....nothing has been simple. To cut a long story short I emailed the store's head office (as advised by my local store manager) -for information and contact address etc for the charity management company I am supposed to liaise with first.
This is the reply I received:

I must be getting stupid or old or just plain fed up with jargonese, because I can't really understand their answer to my extremely simple question.....
So it doesn't look as though the Bosnian Dogs Collection is ever going to happen.
But at least I did raise £37 from some people, which I gave to the cause.
