Generous shoppers in West Lothian are being encouraged to help support an in-store fundraisin­g campaign for three of the UK’s leading health charities.

Last year Tesco’s‘Helping you to live healthier’campaign raised more than £1 million after customers rounded up their shop to the nearest £1 at self-service tills.

Money raised will help Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK to continue their vital work to improve and save lives.

As the charities fight back from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, West Lothian shoppers are once again being urged to round up their shopping to the nearest £1 at self-service tills between January 31 and February 13.

In addition to the funds being raised, the campaign aims to increase awareness in West Lothian about the importance of making sustainabl­e lifestyle changes that can help people to lower their risk of cancer, heart and circulator­y diseases, and type 2 diabetes.

Trusted health informatio­n and advice will be shared with Tesco customers to empower them to take small steps to help improve their health.

Oonagh Turnbull, Head of Health Campaigns at Tesco, thanked Tesco shoppers in West Lothian for their generosity, which will make a significan­t difference to many people’s lives.

She added:“The funds raised will continue to support the health of UK communitie­s at such a critical time. Our health charity partners rely on donations to continue their awareness, prevention and research work.”

The campaign is part of the Health Charity Partnershi­p between Tesco, Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK.
