Lidl Surprises Team Arrives In Cookstown and Magherafelt

There were lots of reasons to celebrate at Lidl last month. Not only did they mark the anniversary of their first Northern Irish store opening in Cookstown 15 years ago, but the Lidl Surprises Team also kick-started their exciting road trip around the Province.

As part of Lidl’s ongoing commitment to the communities where their stores are located, the Surprises Team are currently out on the road, popping up in towns and cities across Northern Ireland, carrying out Random Acts of Kindness and bringing special surprises to local groups and organisations.

In Week One, with thanks to their friends at Mid Ulster Volunteer Centre, the team had the opportunity to help out at historical Lissan House in Cookstown and then at Upperlands     Community Hall in Maghera. Cleaning and restoration were the themes of the week with the Team rolling up their sleeves and deploying lots of elbow grease to help make both venues sparkle.

The team received a really warm welcome not only at Lissan and Upperlands but from all the locals they visited across the Cookstown and Magherafelt area, making it a great to start to the Surprises journey.

Follow Lidl Northern Ireland on Facebook to see where the Team are going to pop up next. If you spot the surprises team tweet us at @lidl_Ni with the #lidlsurprisesni and you might receive a surprise yourself!

Linking those who need help in the community with those who want to help.
