Store gives surplus food to good causes
St Paul’s School in Alnwick and Hadston House Community Centre, which provides meals on wheels for vulnerable people, will benefit from donations from Aldi on South Road.
It is one of three Aldi stores in Northumberland which are part of a trial between the supermarket and community engagement platform, Neighbourly.

Each store is donating perishable items such as fresh fruit and veg, chilled products such as yoghurt and milk, and baked goods.
The trial will continue until spring and, if successful, will be rolled out across all of Aldi’s stores.
