To mark the anniversary of the UK’s first national lockdown, Aldi is recognising amazing colleagues across the country who have gone above and beyond to support their local community.

Jeni Mallace from Bo’ness, a Scottish buying administration assistant at Aldi’s regional office and distribution centre in Bathgate, is the founding member of the Bo’ness Belles community choir. During lockdown she has worked hard to keep the choir connected by organising weekly virtual singing challenges.

They have collectively raised almost £30,000 for local charities over the last seven years, and despite the lockdown, the choir still managed to donate £1,000 worth of gifts to Bo’ness Hospital at Christmas.
