Aldi introduced a new voucher scheme to make it easier for volunteers to buy food and other supplies on behalf of the vulnerable and those who are self-isolating.
The vouchers are now available to buy via the Aldi website. Once purchased, the vouchers can be posted to any address in the UK so they can be given to volunteers to shop on their behalf.

Fritz Walleczek, Managing Director for Corporate Responsibility at Aldi, said: “This is an incredibly difficult time for certain people in our communities and, as has always been our mission, we want to ensure everyone has safe, easy and affordable access to quality food.
“We all owe huge thanks to the volunteers, friends and family members that are making sure vulnerable people across the UK can get groceries while they self-isolate.
“I’m hopeful that our voucher scheme will make it a little bit easier for them to continue this vital work.”
