Aldi is calling on shoppers in Oxfordshire to nominate charities, community groups, and food banks for a share of a £10,000 fund.

The supermarket's Winter Fund aims to support communities nationwide in the lead-up to Christmas.

A panel of Aldi representatives will review the nominations before cash donations are distributed to the selected charities.

The hope is the money will ease the increased pressures often faced by charitable organisations during winter.

To nominate a charity, shoppers can submit their entry via email to aldiwinterfund@citypress.co.uk.

The email should include the name and location of the organisation, as well as a short summary of why they deserve to win.

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."

Entries opened on Monday, November 11, and will close on Sunday, November 24.

As well as the Winter Fund, shoppers can also donate food to charities, food banks, and community groups via the community donation points in Aldi stores nationwide.
