Aldi's voucher scheme starts today to help vulnerable customers

Aldi has announced the launch of its volunteer scheme aiming to help its most vulnerable customers or anyone self isolating.

The vouchers are available to buy on a new Aldi voucher website which can be found here.

Once purchased, the vouchers can be posted to any address in the UK so they can be given to volunteers, friends or family members to shop on behalf of those unable to visit Aldi stores.

Vouchers are available in quantities of £5 or £10.

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.”

The launch of the scheme follows other supermarkets such as Asda and Sainsbury's which introduced volunteer shopping cards.

M&S also launched its "we're all in this together" card. You can find details on these here.
