The donation is part of the supermarket’s ongoing efforts to support local communities and educational initiatives across the UK.
Wilbraham Primary School in Fallowfield 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 Wilbraham 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.”
Sarah Ikin, Safeguarding Lead and Inclusion Lead, from Wilbraham Primary School, said: “This grant will enable us to support our families who struggle to ensure their children are warm and well fed during the colder months.”
Shoppers can also donate food to local charities, food banks and community groups via the community donation points in Aldi stores nationwide.
