Aldi pledges to raise £20 million for Teenage Cancer Trust
Aldi has committed to raising £20 million for Teenage Cancer Trust by 2031 following its original pledge of £15 million by 2027.
Since the beginning of its partnership, the supermarket has raised £12 million for the charity through employee fundraising activities and donations by Aldi shoppers.
The new funds will help Teenage Cancer Trust to continue providing specialised care, vital support services, and dedicated facilities for young people undergoing cancer treatment across the UK.
To mark the £12 million milestone, Aldi is also making an additional £12,000 donation to further support the charity’s work.
Never Miss a Retail Update!Liz Fox, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: “We’re incredibly proud of our partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust and this milestone reflects the dedication of our colleagues and the amazing generosity of our customers.
“Teenage Cancer Trust provides vital, life-changing support for young people affected by cancer, and we’re looking forward to raising the bar even further with our new target of £20 million by 2031.”
Kate Collins, chief executive of Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “We are thrilled to reach the £12 million milestone and grateful that Aldi are continuing to fundraise for young people facing cancer. Today, we say a huge thank you to all the Aldi colleagues and customers for raising this essential amount and supporting our partnership.
Throughout July, Aldi’s Cuthbert Cake will feature a special on-pack text code, giving customers the chance to support Teenage Cancer Trust with a voluntary donation
