Aldi has raised £11 million for Teenage Cancer Trust since partnering with the charity in 2017.
Across more than 1,050 stores, National Head Office and 11 Regional Distribution Centres, Aldi colleagues have participated in a variety of fundraising activities, from bake sales to marathons.
Customers have also played a vital role, generously contributing to help reach this milestone by donating at their local Aldi stores.
The money will go towards supporting Teenage Cancer Trust, to fund specialist nurses, youth workers and hospital units within the NHS, to support 13–24-year-olds who have been diagnosed with cancer.
It is less than a year since the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket celebrated reaching its £10 million fundraising target for Teenage Cancer Trust, which it hit three years early. Since then, the supermarket has pledged to hit its target of £15 million by the end of 2027.
Liz Fox, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: “Our colleagues continue to go above and beyond in their commitment to supporting Teenage Cancer Trust, just as they have done throughout our partnership.
“Reaching this incredible milestone wouldn’t have been possible without their efforts and the remarkable generosity of our customers. Teenage Cancer Trust’s work is essential in providing life-changing support to young people affected by cancer, and we are proud to continue offering our support this year and beyond.”
Michelle Aucott, senior partnerships manager at Teenage Cancer Trust, added: “We are incredibly grateful to Aldi colleagues and shoppers for raising £11 million for Teenage Cancer Trust. Their dedication to supporting young people with cancer is nothing short of remarkable.
“As our partnership continues, we’re excited about the incredible impact we can achieve together for young people with cancer, and we want to say thank you to Aldi colleagues and shoppers for your support and generosity.”
Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer.
