Tesco customers in Walsall can spread festive joy by gifting toys this Christmas
Residents in Walsall are invited to take part in the store's donation drive to provide Manor Hospital with toys this Christmas.
Tesco customers in Walsall have the opportunity to give new toys to local children who need them most this Christmas.
From today until the 15th of December, Tesco’s Walsall Extra is holding a collection for new and unwrapped toys for Manor Hospital, the toys will be given to the terminally ill children spending Christmas there.
Gemma Withers, Community Champion at Walsall Extra, said: "We take pride in supporting our local community during the year through Tesco Stronger Starts and our Community Food Connection programme. This year’s toy donation campaign is a fantastic way for customers to help local families in need and ensure children in our community have something to open on Christmas Day. We are so grateful to our customers who donate what they can to help bring a little festive joy to local families this Christmas."
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 Walsall partnering with Manor Hospital 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.
