Derbyshire Tesco customers can spread festive joy by gifting toys this Christmas

From today until the 15th of December, Glossop Superstore and Whaley Bridge Superstore are holding a collection for new and unwrapped toys for The Hummingbird Project and Little Cherubs Community, which will then distribute the toys to local children.

The Hummingbird Project in Glossop and Little Cherubs Community in High Peak provide essential clothing, toiletries, home items, and children’s supplies to families in need.

Community Champion at Glossop Superstore, Anita Redfern, said: “We are very fortunate to have customers who are generous in supporting our community. All the toys donated in store as part of this appeal will help so many children and families in our community that may otherwise struggle 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 Glossop Superstore and Tesco Whaley Bridge Superstore partnering with The Hummingbird Project and Little Cherubs Community 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.
