Barnardos
Sign up today to Do Good and Feel Good with Barnardos Big Active, supported by ALDI.
Do Good. Feel Good.
Barnardos Big Active, supported by ALDI is a schools-focused initiative which encourage participating schools or classes to complete a month-long physical challenge in either May or June to raise much needed funding for Barnardos. Teachers and students can get creative with their challenge, whether it's running, jumping jacks, dancing or taking on a marathon!
Find out how your child's school can get involved here.
It's simple.
Barnardos Big Active promotes 3 different kinds of activities:
- BODY - Physical challenges that take care of the body.
- MIND - Mindfulness exercises to look after mental wellbeing.
- HEART - Activities that promote the importance of charity.
Together, we can help raise vital funds for Barnardos to continue their work supporting vulnerable children and their families in communities right across Ireland.

Together we can transform children’s lives
We’re helping Barnardos support families in need across Ireland by raising vital funds for their Early Years and Family Support Services, including providing vulnerable children with healthy breakfasts, hot meals and nutritious snacks.
We’re aiming to raise an additional €1 million for Barnardos through staff, store, customer and community fundraising initiatives. All monies raised will go directly to Barnardos Early Years and Family Support Programmes. Keep an eye out in store and online on how you can support us!
By the end of 2024, ALDI has:
- Supported over 200 families with specialbised counselling, intensive parenting, and practical advice.
- Ensured that 2,000 children received the best chance at an early education to ensure a positive future.
- Provided 20,000 meals to those most in need.
