Tesco customers in Stornoway have the opportunity to give new toys to local children who need it most this Christmas.

From today until December 15, Tesco’s Stornoway Superstore is holding a collection for new and unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army, who will then distribute the toys to local children.

The Salvation Army has been fighting against social inequality and transforming lives for over 150 years and offer practical support and services to all who need them.

Claire MacMillan, Community Champion at Stornoway Superstore, said: “We are delighted to be able to support the Salvation Army this year through our toy appeal - what a wonderful way to help bring cheer to local children who may otherwise miss out.”

Tesco shoppers in Stornoway can donate toys until December 15.

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 Stornoway Superstore partnering with the Salvation Army this year to ensure that every child experiences the magic of Christmas.”

More than 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.
