Aldi is asking Hampshire shoppers to nominate charities to receive a share of its £10,000 Winter Fund.

The supermarket chain is aiming to support communities in the lead-up to Christmas by donating to charities across the country.

Selected organisations will be given donations to help alleviate the increased pressure during winter.

Customers can put forward their chosen charities, community groups, or foodbanks by emailing aldiwinterfund@citypress.co.uk with the group's name, location and a brief explanation of why they deserve a portion of the fund.

Liz Fox, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: "The winter period can be an incredibly challenging time for many people across the country and we are committed to doing everything we can to support those in need.

"We hope our shoppers can help us identify charities that could benefit from this donation to continue the incredible work that they do to help their local communities."

The entry period opens on Monday, November 11 and closes on Sunday, November 24.

As well as the Winter Fund, customers can also contribute to charities, foodbanks and community groups by donating food at Aldi's community donation points in stores nationwide.
