Aldi launches Back-to-School Fund to support parents
Aldi has launched a Back-to-School Fund to support families with children returning to school.
Parents are being given the chance to secure one of 100 £100 vouchers being offered throughout September to help with the cost of everyday back-to-school essentials.
Aldi is also donating £20,000 to good causes, including schools and nurseries, through its community giving platform Neighbourly.
The move comes as the supermarket’s research found that 73% of parents admit to worrying about costs related to their children’s schooling at the start of the academic year.
Liz Fox, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: “We know the back-to-school period can be a real pinch point for family finances, especially after having to contend with keeping the kids entertained during the summer school holidays.
“As the UK’s lowest-priced supermarket, we’re committed to doing whatever we can to support parents in making their money go further and that’s why we’re giving parents an extra helping hand via our Back-to-School Fund this September.
“We’re giving our customers the chance to apply for vouchers to help parents cover the cost of packed lunches and other essentials they’ll need to stock up on throughout the school year.”
Parents who wish to apply for Aldi’s Back-to-School Fund are being asked to email AldiBTSFund@citypress.co.uk by 30 September.
