Lidl has announced the launch of a new, nationwide toy donation drive followsing research, in partnership with Neighbourly, that found that for 8 in 10 charities and community groups toys and games were one of the most needed items to help serve their local communities over the festive period - second only to food.
From Thursday, November 3, Lidl will launch toy banks across its stores nationwide. Customers will be able to drop off new and unopened toys and games, to be gifted to children that need support in their area. Donations can be anything - from a small stocking filler to something bigger. Sought-after items include toys, games, books, puzzles, and arts and crafts, for a range of ages.
Toys will then be collected by local charities participating in Lidl’s ‘Feed it Back’ scheme, coordinated by Neighbourly, alongside the food they pick up weekly. They will then be donated via local charities and community groups such as food banks and community centres.
