A COMMUNITY-spirited boy is offering gifts to families in need this Christmas with help from Aldi. 

12-year-old Isaac Winfield from Redditch, who set up food banks to help his local community during the pandemic, is also launching a fifth food bank site.

Isaac's ‘present bank’ at the Greenlands pub offers gifts to those families that may otherwise go without this Christmas.

The bank is stocked with £2,000 worth of kids’ Christmas gifts from Aldi’s Specialbuy aisle.

Earlier this year, Isaac made headlines as one of the sheds where his food bank is located was targeted by burglars.

Stealing over £50 worth of food, Isaac was left with bare shelves and nothing for his local community that he has been helping since lockdown – until the supermarket stepped in to help, donating over £500 worth of groceries.

Aldi has taken its support of Isaac one step further with the new present bank, which will see its range of wooden toys, family games and cosy winter clothing handed out by Isaac and his mother Claire Chapman.

People can book a slot to visit the present bank on the Friends of Isaac's Food Bank Facebook page.

Isaac is also launching a fifth food bank this week at the Willow Trees Community Centre in Loxley Close, Church Hill on Wednesday evening (December 13). 

Isaac said: “I’m so happy with the donations from Aldi – my shed is so well stocked with gifts for anyone who needs them, just in time for Christmas.”.

Claire added: “Christmas can be a stressful time and Isaac wanted to help as many people as possible have a celebration without worrying about what is under the tree.

“He is absolutely ecstatic about the donation and seeing his shelves full with toys and gifts for families he’s dedicated his weekends and spare time to helping is the best Christmas present he could have asked for.”

Julie Ashfield, managing director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “We’re thrilled that we were able to help out Isaac and his local community again".
