With two minutes on the clock, Trolley Dashers can grab as many items on their Christmas shopping list as they can from their local Lidl store and bag a festive feast.

Funds raised from the flagship activity have supported the delivery of Family Carers Ireland’s supports and services across the country.

Supporting this year’s launch, Una Healy commented:
“As a single mum, I know how important it is for people in a caring role to have a support network. Particularly for the half a million family carers across Ireland, they deserve to feel supported and seen and Family Carers Ireland does an amazing job in delivering bespoke supports.

Catherine Cox, Head of Communications and Policy at Family Carers Ireland, said:
“Our partnership with Lidl Ireland through the Trolley Dash campaign is a wonderful way to bring a bit of festive spirit to what is an incredible fundraising campaign. It really is a highlight in the fundraising calendar for us, for Lidl and for shoppers. By taking part, customers and employees will help us to provide essential supports and services to those caring for loved ones every day.

Tickets for Lidl Ireland’s Trolley Dash will go on sale from Monday, 17th November to Sunday, 30th November 2025, giving customers the chance to participate in their local store’s dash throughout December while supporting Family Carers Ireland. Winners will be contacted directly by Lidl Ireland and invited to take part in a clean-run shopping dash before their store opens.
