I had a look at the web site this morning looking for some religious association but found nothing obvious. It is an odd site.

I also found it bemusing that they would place the collection bin in Ashfield. Surely even Midland or Guildford would have been better options??

Misplaced apostrophes, awful graphic design, shit website, poor grammar and spelling, and a particularly bewildering selection of fundraising products (fish tanks? wipers? huh?), and perhaps the lamest mascots I’ve seen since Captain Cleanup (Tommy Tire? Bertie Bottle?).

I predict this Worst will be a slow starter, which grows to become a truly classic worst as TWOPpers find their way around the website. There is also the irresistible prospect of a ‘Spot the E’COKids Van’ treasure hunt.

Perhaps it’s a some kind of exchange programme ? The Ashfieldis sent them clothes, and the Somalis educate their kids with pirate shows.

p.s. The first link is obviously shooped. She’s wearing undies.
