**LIDL Community Works has reopened for 2017 and is seeking community groups and
projects across Northern Ireland to benefit from its funding.**

 

World champion boxer Carl Frampton helped launch this year’s [LIDL Community Works](http://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/en/lidl-community-works.htm),
which has a total of £228,000 to invest, and is offering £6,000 in funding to local
groups and large scale projects through each of its 38 stores across the Northern
Ireland.

It is asking customers across the province to nominate groups or projects in their
local area that could benefit from its support by downloading a nomination form 
from [the website](http://www.lidl-ni.co.uk) or picking up a copy from their local
Lidl Store. The deadline for applications is June 25th. Customers in each store 
across Northern Ireland will then have the opportunity to decide from a shortlist
of three which local community group or project should receive a £4,000 investment
with the two runners up each receiving £1,000.

 

Since the initial launch of Lidl Community Works, Lidl has donated funding and given
practical help to over 700 community groups and charities across the country, including
[Portrush RNLI](http://www.portrushlifeboat.com/), [Mourne Mountain Rescue](http://mournemrt.org/),
Carrick Chargers Special Olympic Basketball Club and the Doghouse Sanctuary in Banbridge.

 

Conor Boyle, regional director at Lidl Northern Ireland said:

while the further two runners up will receive £1000 each.
