Our national charity partnership with the NSPCC

Working together to keep kids safe

We’re proud to have been partnered with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) since 2017, raising over £9 million to date with our customers’ support! Between 2017 and 2022, we raised £5 million for the NSPCC including:

£3 million in the first three years, enabling the NSPCC to reach 1 million children as part of its ‘Speak out. Stay safe.’ programme. This vital initiative educates primary school pupils about different types of abuse and how to get help if or when they need it.
£2 million for the lifesaving Childline 24/7 service which provides a place for children to turn whatever difficulty they’re facing.

Supporting young people's mental health

In 2022, we extended our partnership with the NSPCC with the aim of raising a further £5 million by 2025 for Childline.

On average, a child contacts Childline every 25 seconds, with mental and emotional health the top concern raised. Our support enables the charity’s trained counsellors to respond to digital contacts and phone calls from young people seeking a listening ear.

By working together, we can make sure young people always have someone to talk to about their mental health. The team at Lidl is taking on a number of fundraising challenges throughout the year - look out for more information in our stores!
