You all know the age old saying ‘a puppy is for life not just for Christmas.' But did you know the same applies for rubber ducks?
This week sees hundreds of the plastic yellow fellas looking for a home; with Bournemouth Raising and Giving aiming to ensure they all live out the rest of their years happily nesting in a bathroom near you.
Students are being invited to donate £1 for each duck, with the money raised going to two local charities.
Diverse Abilities Plus help people with physical and learning disabilities while Dorset Rape Crisis Centre supports victims of rape and attempted rape.
Ducks can be purchased from the Atrium on the Talbot Campus of Bournemouth University on Wednesday 4th February.
