Supermarket Lidl has extended its [charity partnership with CLIC Sargent](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/2012/10/01/lidl-chooses-clic-sargent-charity-year/)
with a three-year commitment and a pledge to raise £1 million.

Its current 15-month partnership with the cancer charity for children and young 
people has already raised £358,000, more than double its original target. This income
was generated through activities including company donations of £20,000 on sales
of mini-muffins in March, and a Christmas mini-stollen bites campaign which raised
£12,000.

The new three-year campaign will involve fundraising events, individual staff challenges,
and donations from sales of goods.
