Aldi has pledged to raise £20 million for Teenage Cancer Trust by 2031, building on its original commitment of £15 million by 2027.
Since the beginning of its partnership, the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket has already raised £12 million to support the charity’s vital work.
Across its 1,050 stores, National Head Office and Regional Distribution Centres, Aldi colleagues have taken part in a wide range of fundraising activities – with donations further boosted by the generosity of Aldi shoppers.
Funds raised through the partnership will help Teenage Cancer Trust 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.
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, 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.
“The funds raised have enabled our nurses and youth teams to improve the lives of thousands of young people with cancer and support families during their toughest times, and our continued partnership will enhance this impact even further.”
Throughout July, Aldi’s beloved Cuthbert Cake will feature a text code on its packaging for Teenage Cancer Trust, allowing customers the opportunity to make a donation if they wish.
