Barnardos is asking Aldi customers to help vulnerable families experiencing food poverty by donating €4 by texting ‘BARNARDOS’ to 50300 or by visiting Barnardos.ie/Aldi and making a donation online. The text costs €4 of which Barnardos will receive a minimum of €3.60. The charity said that €4 helps it provide a hot dinner and access to specialised care for a child in their after-school club.
All of the CEOs of all charities should NOT be on more than 100k per year. More so than ever they must demonstrate empthy, real leadership by example and if they want our citizens support bring real instatuitional change, starting with themselved.
