CLidl IrelandU/Northern IreSland | SustainaTbility ProgresOs Report 2018/1M9 ERAND LA ND SOCIETY OUR TWO-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH NSPCC NORTHERN IRELAND WAS LAUNCHED IN NOVEMBER 2017 WITH A COMMITMENT TO RAISE £250,000 FOR THE CHARITY. THE NSPCC IS A LEADING CHILDREN’S CHARITY PROVIDING A RANGE OF THERAPEUTIC AND PROTECTION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN NORTHERN IRELAND. Lidl are raising essential funds to support a range of vital services in Northern Ireland such as Childline, a confidential and free to contact 24-hour counselling service for children and young people up to the age of 19. We have also been raising funds to support the charity’s Speak Out. Stay Safe School Programme which reached 67,129 primary school children in 359 schools in 2018. We have supported the charity through a number of in-store campaigns to help raise awareness and keep children safe across Northern Ireland; such as raising awareness of the NSPCC’s free phone Helpline 0808 800 5000 which provides advice and support to adults who are worried about a child. In 2018, 610 referrals were made from the Helpline in Belfast to local agencies and the NSPCC worked with 500 children and families at their service centres in Belfast, Craigavon and Foyle to help children recover from abuse and working with families to prevent abuse. In our 2018 financial year alone, our dedicated team in Northern Ireland raised over £300,000 through a variety of activities from supermarket sweeps and boat races to superhero fundraising days. WE’VE BEEN OVERWHELMED BY THE SUPPORT OF OUR FRIENDS IN LIDL OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY HAVE RAISED IS ENABLING US TO KEEP LOCAL CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE SAFE. LIDL ARE NOT ONLY CHANGING CHILDREN’S LIVES THROUGH FINANCIAL SUPPORT, CRUCIALLY THEY ARE HELPING US TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEMS AND ISSUES FACING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY.
