Aldi Scotland Brings Supermarket Sweep In Support Of CHAS



Aldi Scotland’s Supermarket Sweep is back for another year, giving shoppers in West Scotland the chance to raise vital funds for Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).

 

Inspired by the iconic game show, the high-energy challenge is set to bring a buzz to the aisles, offering one lucky PA or KA postcode holder the chance to race through their local Aldi store in West Scotland and fill the trolley with their favourite products.

 

Now in its eleventh year, the initiative has raised over £60,000 for charities across Scotland.


First launched in 2016, the Supermarket Sweep invites participants to take part in a five-minute trolley dash, collecting as many items as possible before the clock runs out. Once time is called, the winner takes home their haul, while Aldi matches the total value as a donation to CHAS.

   

Each year, CHAS supports more than 500 babies, children and young people across Scotland with life-shortening conditions, along with their families. In 2026, every penny raised through Aldi’s Supermarket Sweep will go directly to the charity, with £10,000 pledged in support.

 

This April, CHAS launched its £20 million More Than A Hospice appeal, a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to transform children’s palliative care across Scotland and redesign how the country cares for children with life‑shortening conditions and their families.


The appeal will fund the crucial rebuilding and refreshing of CHAS’s hospices, alongside the expansion of care in homes, communities and hospitals, giving families real choice over where and how they are supported when they need it most.

 

Residents in West Scotland can apply to take part in the Supermarket Sweep from Monday 22nd June - Sunday 5th July.

 

Sandy Mitchell, Regional Managing Director, Aldi Scotland, said: 

“We are proud to once again be partnering with CHAS, following the success of last year’s Supermarket Sweep campaign. It is always a highlight to bring this initiative to communities across Scotland, and we’re looking forward to giving one lucky West Scotland resident the chance to enjoy a truly unique supermarket experience."

 “CHAS is a charity very close to our hearts, providing vital support to families across the country. As the Supermarket Sweep returns for 2026, we are pleased to once again raise important funds and awareness for the incredible work they do.”

 

Iain McAndrew, Director of Income Generation and Engagement, CHAS said: 

“Last year’s partnership with Aldi Scotland was a huge success, with the team going above and beyond to raise vital funds and awareness through its Supermarket Sweep and a range of generous initiatives. That support has had a real impact on the families we care for and means so much to everyone involved."

“This year, we have really ambitious plans. Our bold £20 million More Than A Hospice appeal comes at a critical time and will allow CHAS to meet rising pressure on children’s palliative care services by transforming how Scotland cares for its most vulnerable children and families.

 

“Across Scotland, we support babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions, as well as their families, through a range of services including specialist palliative care, respite stays, emotional support and bereavement care. Every contribution makes a difference, and we are incredibly grateful to Aldi Scotland and everyone taking part for helping us reach more children and families across the country.”

 

Entry is free and customers can apply by emailing their name and chosen store to supermarketsweep@aldi.co.uk before Sunday 5th July. Further details and full T&Cs can be found here.
