How to collect
What will I need to do?
The staff at the collection sites will first check that you (or the person you are collecting for) are aged 60 or over. If so, they will give you the supplements and some information about the offer.
You may collect one bottle for yourself and one bottle each, for up to two other people at a time. Each person is eligible to receive one pack of supplements.
The staff will complete a short form on your behalf, including some basic information about you and/or the person you are collecting for. This helps us evaluate the success of the offer.
Collecting vitamin D supplements from a place of worship.
In places of worship (Mosque, Temple, Gurdwara), Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs follow religious rituals. As soon as they enter the building, they wear a head scarf/covering and remove their shoes. When collecting vitamin D supplements from places of worship, we would appreciate it if you wore a head scarf/covering and remove your shoes upon entering the building.
In most cases, the place of worship will lend you a scarf or covering if you do not have one of your own. By respecting the religious rituals you will be showing respect for the places of worship and its adherents.
