Tesco customers in Wishaw have the opportunity to spread some holiday cheer this Christmas by gifting toys to children in need. A collection for Women’s Aid is being organised at Tesco Wishaw Belhaven Extra until December 11th. Women’s Aid, a charity that supports women and children affected by domestic abuse, will ensure that all donated toys reach youngsters in the community, ensuring they experience the joy of receiving a gift on Christmas morning.
David Cooper and Chelsea Gray, community champions at Tesco Wishaw Belhaven Extra, expressed their gratitude towards the generous customers who have supported the toy appeal. Claire De Silva, head of communities at Tesco, highlighted the commitment of Tesco stores in supporting local children and communities throughout the year. She praised the annual toy collection campaign as a way for customers and colleagues to come together and make a real difference during the festive season.
In addition to the toy collection, Tesco is also making a financial donation of £25,000 to the Salvation Army to aid their efforts in providing essential services and support to vulnerable families during Christmas. This initiative showcases Tesco’s dedication to giving back to the community and supporting those in need, especially during the holiday season.
The collaboration between Tesco Wishaw Belhaven Extra and Women’s Aid is a heartwarming example of how businesses and charities can work together to bring joy and support to those facing difficult circumstances. By participating in the toy collection or supporting initiatives like these, individuals can make a positive impact and help create a brighter Christmas for less fortunate families in the community.
