Aldi Scotland has named Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) as the official charity partner of its Supermarket Sweep initiative for 2025.
Launched in 2016 and inspired by the game show of the same name, Supermarket Sweep gives shoppers five minutes to dash round an Aldi store, filling their trolley with as many products as possible. Once the time is up, the lucky shopper gets to take home their goodies, while Aldi donates an equivalent cash sum to charity.
This will see funds raised for CHAS help provide vital hospice care and support to children with life-shortening conditions across Scotland.
Each year CHAS supports more than 500 babies, children and young people and their families. In 2025 every penny raised through Supermarket Sweep will go directly to CHAS, with already £10,000 pledged in support.
Graham Nicolson, group buying director at Aldi Scotland, said: “CHAS provides an incredible lifeline for families across Scotland, offering specialist care and unwavering support during the most difficult moments imaginable. This is a charity very close to our hearts and we’re honoured to be partnering with them for our 2025 Supermarket Sweep.
“The annual initiative holds a special place in the Aldi calendar, donating over £50,000 to local charities since 2016, while offering loyal customers across Scotland the chance to take part in a truly unique supermarket experience.
“We hope this partnership will not only raise significant funds for the charity but also help to shine a light on the incredible impact CHAS has across Scotland.”
Supermarket Sweep 2025 kicks off at Aldi’s Chesser store in Edinburgh, with applications set to open on 24 March. Further locations and dates will be announced in due course.
