TESCO Extra at Horwich is helping the BEN with this year's Caring Christmas Campaign.
The store has decorated a beautiful Christmas tree and on its branches hang the names of various needy children.
Shoppers can select a name tag from the tree and either buy a gift for the child of their choice or take a gift to the store.
The staff at Tesco will then make sure that every single present makes its way to the BEN/Bolton Lions Caring Christmas Campaign, which distributes the gifts among needy children in the local area.
A host of supporters were with Father Christmas -- who managed to pop into Tesco Extra before the Christmas rush -- to help launch the campaign.
