Now in its third year, Lidl Community Works has so far helped more than 600 community groups across the province. Last year it invested £250,000 in helping community groups and projects. Chef and Lidl ambassador Ian Orr will visit each of the 33 winning groups to take part in a cooking element to help raise funds. The Lidl Community Crew will also be out on the road, visiting events, runner-up groups and local Lidl stores. ## Advertisement   Customers across Northern Ireland are being invited to nominate community groups and projects in their local area that could benefit from Lidl’s support by downloading a nomination form from [www.lidl-ni.co.uk](http://www.lidl-ni.co.uk) or calling into a local Lidl Store to pick up a copy.
