Lidl Cyprus: 12-year community support delivers €1.3m to Anti-Cancer Society
The recent ‘Under the Lights of Love’ anniversary dinner held at the Landmark Nicosia marked the culmination of an initiative that began over the Christmas period. Lidl Cyprus covered nearly all the event’s expenses, ensuring the €42,900 proceeds from ticket sales went to supporting the Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society.
The event’s success came on the heels of the major Christmas drive through Lidl Plus, where the company turned customer loyalty into an act of tangible solidarity. The campaign saw 278,265 scans clocked, amassing €83,479.50. And in a further move, Lidl Cyprus raised its grant to the Anti-Cancer Society, handing over €100,000 to the non-profit organisation.
All the funds will go towards Society’s Catering and Room Adoption Programmes at the Arodafnousa Palliative Care Centre — the first and only centre in Cyprus offering integrated inpatient palliative care services to cancer patients.
An alliance for life: 12 years of substantive contribution
For Lidl Cyprus, supporting the Anti-Cancer Society is not a one-off; rather, it’s a deep-rooted strategic alliance going back 12 years. Since December 2013, the company has been the Society’s most robust supporter, having offered €1.3 million in total – an investment in maintaining critical healthcare services.
The Arodafnousa Palliative Care Centre is at the heart of this longstanding contribution. Lidl Cyprus fully covers the Catering Programme, ensuring patients have quality nutrition, while also undertaking in full the operating expenses for two rooms as part of the Room Adoption Programme. Additionally, the company has provided support to patients’ families, by funding and equipping a dedicated relaxation space, offering dignity to those standing beside loved ones during their hardship.
Returning value to the community
As a modern and leading social partner, Lidl Cyprus functions as a bridge connecting business success with social prosperity. In this way every purchase at Lidl stores acquires a larger meaning, as it materialises into a contribution to the community, offering dignity and hope.
Twelve years after the first joint action, this alliance continues to make history, affirming that when a company is people-oriented, it leaves an indelible mark on society, creating a better future for all.
