We’re proud to have been partnered with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) since 2017.
With your support, over the last five years Lidl has 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.
We’re delighted to have now extended our partnership with the NSPCC, aiming to raise a further £5m over the next three years. We will be continuing to support the NSPCC’s Childline service, with a particular focus on supporting children and young people with their mental health.
On average, a child contacts Childline every 25 seconds, with mental and emotional health the top concern raised by children and young people. By working together, we can make sure young people always have someone to talk to about their mental health.
The team at Lidl will be taking on a number of fundraising challenges throughout the year - look out for more info in our stores!
