Until Sunday, 15 December, the store is organising a collection of toys in store and sharing these with Princess Royal Hospital Children’s Ward. The donated toys will be gifted to the children staying on the ward on Christmas morning, to spread a little joy to those unable to be at home over Christmas.  

Nicola Hitch, Community Champion at Tesco Madeley Superstore, said: “Every child deserves to wake up Christmas morning with a toy. Last year as Community Champions for Tesco we took over 200 toys down to the hospital to gift the children on Christmas morning. Let's see what we can do this year!”  

Tesco is also making a financial donation of £25,000 to the Salvation Army this year to support their ongoing efforts in providing essential services and support to vulnerable families during the festive season.  

Claire De Silva, Head of Communities at Tesco, said: “Our stores are committed to supporting local children and their communities year-round, and our annual toy collection campaign is a wonderful way for our customers and colleagues to come together to make a real difference at Christmas. 

“It's great to see Tesco Madeley Superstore partnering with Princess Royal Hospital Children’s Ward this year to ensure that every child experiences the magic of Christmas.”  

Over 800 Tesco large stores have a dedicated donation point in store where customers can donate new, unwrapped toys.
