Tesco shoppers in Consett can help bring joy to local children this Christmas by donating new toys to those who need them most.
From now until 15 December, Consett Genesis Extra is collecting new, unwrapped toys for The Salvation Army Consett’s Toy Appeal, which will be distributed to children in the local community.
Community Champion at Consett Genesis Extra, Kathryn Herdman, said:
“Giving is not just about making a donation – it’s about making a difference. We want to make this our biggest collection yet with the help of the amazing generosity of the Consett community.”
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 Consett Genesis Extra partnering with The Salvation Army Consett 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. Last Christmas Tesco customers donated a total of 125,000 toys, with the retailer looking to beat that number this year.
