Aldi has donated hundreds of meals to north families this festive period.
The chain teamed up with various local charities and food banks to provide the food.
Unsold produce from Christmas Eve trading was distributed to families in need providing 1,862 meals across the north.
Fritz Walleczek, managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK, said: “By donating fresh food such as bread, fruit, vegetables and meat we’ve been able to support charities in providing warm and healthy festive meals this Christmas season.
“The feedback has been overwhelming and we’re delighted that we’ve been able to go above and beyond with our donations once again this year, and reach over 500 charities across the UK.”
Around 440,000 meals were donated across the country, including almost 48,000 from Aldi stores in Scotland – benefiting more than 500 charities across the UK.
