Shortlist Voting Now Open For Lidl Community Works Funding
Lidl Northern Ireland today announced the projects and groups which have been shortlisted to receive funding as part of this year’s Lidl Community Works campaign and it’s calling on local shoppers to cast their final vote.
Lidl Northern Ireland launched this year’s Lidl Community Works campaign in May, asking customers to nominate groups and projects from across Northern Ireland who they felt deserved recognition for all the work they do in their local communities.
The public are now invited to visit their local store before Sunday 17th September to cast their vote for one of the shortlisted groups which they feel is the most worthy winner. £6000 will be made available at each of Lidl’s 38 stores across Northern Ireland and with three groups shortlisted at each store, one overall winner will receive £4000 of the fund while the further two runners up will receive £1000 each.
Conor Boyle, Regional Director at Lidl Northern Ireland said, “We received over 2,000 nominations this year for Lidl Community Works, a figure which only reinforces the need for such an initiative for our communities and we at Lidl are thrilled to be able to support where we can.
“We’re delighted to be in a position where we can give back to the local communities that have supported us over the years and therefore really want to encourage everyone to come out to vote. The competition will definitely be tough since all those who are shortlisted are really deserving of both appreciation and acknowledgment for all their hard work and we wish them all the best during the voting period.”
The shortlisted groups in this year’s Community Works campaign include Autonomie in Lisburn, a volunteer led support group who provide social, emotional and educational support for young people with disabilities; the Mid Antrim Animal Sanctuary, a nonprofit charity that focus’ on rehoming approximately 1000 cats and dogs every year; the Rural Health Partnership in Newry, a community based project which provides a support service for those who have mental health problems and the Rostrevor Men’s Sheds, a cross community group that provides an environment for men to come together to work on a variety of projects and skills while helping to eliminate low self-esteem and loneliness.
Since the initial launch of Lidl Community Works in 2014, Lidl has donated funding and given practical help to over 700 community groups and charities across the country.
