**Lidl UK has beaten an initial £1m fundraising target to raise £1.6m for [CLIC Sargent](http://www.clicsargent.org.uk)
since partnering with the charity four years ago, in what has been its most successful
fundraising year to date.**

 

Lidl UK reached its initial fundraising target in July this year, six months ahead
of schedule, and this combined with the extra £600,000 raised since then means Lidl
has been able to fund 64,000 hours of care for children and young people who are
going through cancer treatment since 2012.

The money has been raised through a mixture of staff fundraising activities and 
corporate donations, alongside promotions on Lidl products. During Childhood Cancer
Awareness Month in September Lidl UK employees across the country dressed as superheroes
for a week, which raised over £75,000, while 25p for every 99p pack of Lidl 2016
charity Christmas cards sold this year is being donated to the charity.
