The Lidl Community Crew will visit each of the winning groups in the coming months as they plan and host fundraising events and present food demonstrations to help sustain the fantastic work of each project in their local area.

Food will be a central focus at each of the events, helping Lidl not only mark the Northern Ireland Year of Food and Drink 2016 but also celebrate the many local suppliers that Lidl Northern Ireland works with.
