Tesco customers in Lisburn can spread festive joy by gifting toys this Christmas
Tesco customers in Lisburn have the opportunity to give new toys to local children who need it most this Christmas.
Until December 15, Tesco’s Lisburn Bentrim Road Superstore is holding a collection for new and unwrapped toys for the Atlas Women's Centre, also in Lisburn, who will then distribute the toys to local children.
The Atlas Women's Centre provides social learning activities and support women in every aspect of life.
They will use the donations to support disadvantaged families who use their services.
Community Champion Ann Broome said: “It is great to be able to help disadvantaged children in the local area of the store, especially around Christmas time.
"We take pride in supporting our local community during the year through Tesco Stronger Starts and our Community Food Connection programme and this year’s toy donation campaign is a fantastic way for customers to help local families in need and ensure children in our community have something to open on Christmas Day."
Claire De Silva, Head of Communities at Tesco, said: “Our stores are committed to supporting local children and their communities year-round, and thanks to the generosity of our customers and colleagues, the annual toy donation campaign is a wonderful way to make a difference at Christmas.
“It's great to see Tesco Lisburn Bentrim Road Superstore partnering with Atlas Women's Centre this year to ensure that every child experiences the magic of Christmas.”
Over 800 large Tesco stores across the UK will have a dedicated toy donation point where customers can donate new, unwrapped toys purchased in store.
