Print24 March 2025
Aldi has today (24 March) announced a two-year partnership extension with Barnardos, with a renewed focus on supporting thousands of parents and families
Aldi has helped Barnardos support families in need across Ireland, raising €2 million for their Early Years and Family Support Services since the partnership began in 2020
The Barnardos Early Years Services work to provide children with the educational, emotional, and physical supports they need to start school with the same opportunity for success as any child.
Barnardos Family Support Services offer support to the families of children, who may be experiencing crises such as domestic violence, mental ill health, or addiction.
Creating change
As part of the ongoing partnership, Aldi and Barnardos are working to create change in communities across Ireland, supporting families most at risk.
Commenting on the partnership renewal, Niall O’Connor, group managing director, Aldi Ireland, said: “Through our partnership with Barnardos, we’ve been able to make a meaningful impact on the lives of parents and families in need over the past four years.”
Offering support
Barnardos offers support to families in whatever way they need it – through services, access or ‘even just a listening ear’.
Suzanne Connolly, CEO, Barnardos, added: “Together we are working to support thousands of children and families who are struggling with deprivation, mental ill health, bereavement, domestic violence or other challenges – because childhood lasts a lifetime.
“We are working to change the story of thousands of children, and Aldi’s continued support is invaluable in transforming the lives of the families that we support.”
In 2023, Barnardos supported over 26,000 children and families, 25% more than the previous year. Since the partnership began in 2020, Aldi has raised €2 million for Barnardos.
