The donation is part of the supermarket’s ongoing efforts to support local communities and educational initiatives across the UK.
Heath Fields Primary School in Hatton was one of 10 schools to benefit from a £5,000 total donation from the UK’s fourth largest supermarket, provided in partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly.
Alongside these donations, Aldi will be continuing to donate surplus food to local schools and charities from all its UK stores throughout the term.
Luke Emery, National Sustainability Director at Aldi, said:“We’re delighted to be able to donate this grant to Heath Fields Primary School, and hope that the support will allow them to continue the fantastic work that they do in helping children to succeed.
“At Aldi, we are committed to supporting the local communities we serve, and this is one of many initiatives this year that will see us give back to people across Britain.”
Steve Butterworth, from Neighbourly, added:“We were delighted to disburse this extra funding from Aldi on top of the food donations the supermarket provides year-round.
“Donations like this are vital to allowing our school partners to support families across the community during these times of heightened demand.”
Natalie Broadhurst, OPAL Play Coordinator at Heath Fields Primary School said:“This funding will have a great impact on our organisation and the children we support. The funding will allow us to progress with OPAL a little quicker than we would currently be able to do, allowing a greater provision for the children, keeping them fully engaged throughout lunchtimes.”
Shoppers can also donate food to local charities, food banks and community groups via the community donation points in Aldi stores nationwide.
