Hope House Children’s Hospice is a charity that gives every local child with a life-threatening condition and their family access to professional care and improves their quality of life from the point of diagnosis. The donated toys will be distributed to children and their families being supported by the hospices.  

Chris Harris, Community Champion at Tesco Ellesmere Superstore, said: “We are really proud to be supporting Hope House with our toy collection this year and we hope the children enjoy all the donations. Thank you to all our amazing customers for their generous donations 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 Ellesmere Superstore partnering with Hope House Children’s Hospice 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.
