Ballymoney, Limavady and Coleraine Tesco shoppers help raise £50,000 for NI Hospice
Kind-hearted Tesco shoppers from Coleraine, Ballymoney and Limavady have contributed to a collection for the NI Hospice which raised more than £50,000!
The record-breaking total of £52,421.54 was raised during a single weekend of bucket collections. Community spirit was at the heart of the campaign, with Tesco Community Champions, local community groups, and Northern Ireland Hospice volunteers joining forces across 30 stores.
The funds will support Northern Ireland Hospice in continuing its vital work, helping 4,000 infants, children and adults each year through specialist respite, symptom management and end-of-life palliative care.
The Tesco branch on Castle Street in Ballymoney raised £1,811.91 while the branch at Main Street, Limavady, contributed £1,939.15 with the Coleraine store adding £383.59 to the pot.
Michael Nugent, Northern Ireland Hospice, commented: “We are incredibly grateful to Tesco and its customers for this fantastic achievement. It is a wonderful example of the support the public continues to show for the Hospice, and this generous donation will make a real and tangible difference."
