COMMUNITY WORKS
Since it launched in 2014, ‘Lidl Community Works’ initiative has supported over 700 groups across Northern Ireland. The format has changed over the past 3 years from Community Crews visiting groups providing practical support, to celebrating Local Heroes within the community and now in its current format of providing funding to local groups and projects.
In 2017 we invited customers across the province to nominate groups or projects in their local area that could bene t from Lidl’s support. The chosen groups were then voted for by customers in store.
