Aldi has pledged to hit a fundraising target of £15 for charity partner Teenage Cancer Trust by the end of 2027.

The retailer has already raised more than £11 million for the charity since forming the partnership in 2017.

The charity partnership has seen the supermarket fundraise across its networks, with donations going towards specialist nurses, youth workers and hospital units within the NHS, to support 13–24-year-olds who have been diagnosed with cancer.

The new fundraising milestone comes less than a year after the discounter announced it had hit £10m, a goal it achieved three years ahead of schedule.

Liz Fox, National Sustainability Director at Aldi UK, said: “Our colleagues continue to go above and beyond in their commitment to supporting Teenage Cancer Trust, just as they have done throughout our partnership.
