The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, Aldi, has entered into the second year of its Rising Stars programme with SportsAid by announcing the 18 talented young athletes receiving support in 2023.
Each athlete on the programme is provided with funding to help towards costs such as travel, accommodation, equipment and nutrition.
They also receive workshop sessions on a range of topics to help nurture athletes for their sporting endeavours and beyond. This includes top tips on healthy eating and performance nutrition, restful sleep, mental wellbeing, social media training and making the most of opportunities working with the media.
In addition, the talented young athletes play a key role in the promotion of the supermarket’s ‘Get Set to Eat Fresh’ programme, which aims to educate children on the importance of a healthy diet. The programme has so far reached over 2.2 million young people and is targeting an extra million children by the end of 2024.
Jemma Townsend, Marketing Director at Aldi UK, said: “We are proud to back British athletes, both through our partnerships with Team GB and ParalympicsGB to keep them fuelled for success and our Rising Stars programme with SportsAid to help nurture up-and-coming talent. We are thrilled to extend this programme to support even more Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls this year.”
