John Curtin, Group Buying Director, Aldi Ireland, said: “Each of the charities supported by our Community Grants Programme does tremendous work within their local community.
"They are often staffed by volunteers, who give up their time to provide vital services to those in need, free of charge.”
“Supporting the local communities our stores serve is something that we truly believe in and we are happy to have contributed to so many local causes in the last 12 months.
"Selecting the charities to support is driven by our store staff, they know the local charities and it allows them to give something back to the communities they serve.”
