Supermarket giant Aldi has donated 1000 activity books to The Boghall Drop In Centre in Bathgate to help keep children who are most in need entertained during the school holidays.
The books, which will be shared with families in and around West Lothian, include games, activities and recipe ideas for kids, with the supermarket also donating a selection of snacks alongside.
The initiative is part of Aldi’s partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly, which sees the supermarket donate surplus food from all its stores in West Lothian throughout the year to those in need.
Recent research from Neighbourly found that 90 per cent of local causes have seen demand to provide activities for children increase in the last year, with everyone agreeing that the cost-of-living crisis is impacting children’s access to items like books and toys.
The Boghall Drop In Centre in Bathgate was established in 2004 with the aim of providing the local community with access to much needed resources. The charity has worked in partnership with neighbourly for over five years. The charity delivers a wide range of services and it has a community shop that aims to reduce the cost of food and reduce food waste.
Denise, a food co-ordinator from The Boghall Drop In Centre said: “The cost of living means school holidays place additional strains on families. These activity packs from Aldi mean that we are able to raise food awareness and give some exciting and fun activities for the children to participate in over the week”
Liz Fox, Corporate Responsibility Director at Aldi UK, added: “We want to support local communities in any way we can, and we hope these activity books will help to keep children in West Lothian entertained over the school holidays.”

remove language deemed offensive from the late British author’s children’s novels with the goal of making the stories suitable for modern readers generated widespread backlash last week.The company said that in addition to the revised editions, 17 of Dahl’s books will be published in their original form later this year as “The Roald Dahl Classic Collection,” The Associated Press reported, citing the company stating that “readers will be free to choose which version of Dahl’s stories they prefer.”Penguin Random House did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.The company’s Puffin children’s label altered passages in Dahl’s books relating to weight, mental health, gender and race to make the titles more palatable to today’s sensibilities. The move is not uncommon with older books, but the number of edits and books involved drew criticism.In addition to the changed description of the gluttonous Gloop in the 1964 novel later made into movies starring Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp, The Roald Dahl Story Company, which controls the rights to the books, said it worked with Penguin’s Puffin children’s label to revise books like “Fantastic Mr.
