Aldi has revealed the winners of its Christmas card design competition with Teenage Cancer Trust. The supermarket invited both Teenage Cancer Trust staff members and those supported by the charity to submit designs for its 2022 Christmas card range.
The winning designs from Franchessca Sefton and Catherine Cook will appear in stores across the country from this week – with 50p from the sale of each pack going to Teenage Cancer Trust. Franchessca and Catherine, both Teenage Cancer Trust Youth Support Coordinators, impressed the judges, including Liz Fox, National Corporate Responsibility Director at Aldi UK, with their Christmas tree and fireplace card designs.
The Christmas card competition was launched as part of Aldi’s ongoing partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust last year, with the supermarket working with the charity since 2017. So far Aldi has raised more than £7.8 million through various initiatives in support of Teenage Cancer Trust, with a target of reaching £10 million by 2027.
Liz Fox, Corporate Responsibility Director at Aldi UK, said: “We hope everyone enjoyed taking part in our Christmas card design competition as much as we enjoyed looking at the submissions. All of the entries were fantastic, but we were so impressed by both Franchessca and Catherine’s designs that we couldn’t choose between the two - so decided to produce both!
“The work Teenage Cancer Trust does for young people is vital and we are glad to be able to support them with our ongoing partnership.”
Kate Collins, Chief Executive of Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “We’re so proud of our partnership with Aldi and can’t thank them enough for their incredible support over the last five years. Aldi have come up with some great initiatives like this Christmas card design competition to help us support young people with cancer, we look forward to seeing both Franchessca and Catherine’s festive designs in store this week. We’ll be hugely grateful to anyone that buys a pack this Christmas to ensure no young person faces cancer alone.”
