Tesco customers in Weston Favell can spread festive joy by gifting toys this Christmas

Tesco customers in Weston Favell 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 Weston Favell Extra is holding a collection for new and unwrapped toys for Home-Start Northampton, a voluntary organisation that supports families across the community.

Hayley Higgs, Community Champion at Weston Favell Extra, said: "We take pride in supporting our local community during the year through Tesco Stronger Starts and our Community Food Connection programme. Building on our longstanding relationship, we are excited to offer further support to Home-Start this Christmas. The donation will ensure that the children can fully enjoy the festive spirit and magic of the season. We are very 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 Weston Favell partnering with Home-Start Northampton 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.
