€10k of that money came from stores in the midlands.

Lidl customers in the midlands have raised €10,000 for a mental health charity.

Over €300,000 in support for Jigsaw has been raised through the supermarket's Trolley Dash - €7,000 of that was in Offaly, with €3,000 in Westmeath.

179 stores around the country took part in the initiative.

Eimear O’Sullivan, Corporate Affairs Director, Lidl Ireland and Northern Ireland says:

"Thanks to the continued support of our fantastic shoppers and employees across Ireland, we are delighted to have raised just over €312,000 for our charity partner Jigsaw through Trolley Dash this festive season.

We are extremely proud to partner with Jigsaw, who support young adults in Ireland with expert mental health advice and support, and this festive fundraiser is undoubtedly the highlight event in the calendar every year.

Everyone at Lidl Ireland is overwhelmed by the generosity from our customers, especially in these challenging times, who are contributing to such an important cause that will have a real impact on future generations.

Congratulations to all the lucky winners across our 179 stores in Ireland and we wish you the best of luck in your Trolley Dash."
