Enniscorthy area based Scoil Chroí Ró Naofa, Ballymurn, has become the latest charity to benefit from Aldi’s Community Grants programme, receiving a €500 grant from Aldi’s Wexford Town Trinity Street store team.

The €500 grant was presented to Leanna Redmond and pupils from Scoil Chroí Ró Naofa by James Still, Aldi’s Wexford Town Trinity Street “Charity Champion”.

Aldi’s Community Grants programme helps fund local charities and organisations that contribute vital work and services in their local communities. Each local charity supported is chosen by Aldi employees, enabling them to help the local good causes they are passionate about.

The programme has contributed to over 340 different local projects to date, donating over €250,000 since 2016. 

Commenting, Martina Dempsey, Aldi Wexford Town Trinity Street Store Manager said: “We here at the Wexford Town Trinity Street store are proud to have chosen Scoil Chroí Ró Naofa to support. It’s a great cause and providing a safe and happy environment for children’s learning and encouraging them to grow into happy and healthy members of society, makes a huge difference to Enniscorthy.

“Being part of and investing in local communities is something that Aldi is committed to and we are delighted to be able to make this contribution.”
