Design your own Aldi lorry to inspire healthy eating – and win up to £1,000 for your school!
This summer, Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB are challenging pupils aged 5–14 to design an Aldi lorry that inspires the UK to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. The winning hand-drawn designs will be featured on real Aldi lorries which will travel across the country for everyone to see! The competition, which is open until Friday 23 June, is part of Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB’s
award-winning school initiative, Get Set to Eat Fresh. Get Set to Eat Fresh encourages pupils to develop a love and curiosity about healthy and sustainable food, and give them the knowledge and skills they need to cook nutritious and low-cost meals for themselves.
Designs will be judged by a panel featuring representatives from Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB, and Olympic and Paralympic athletes, including weightlifting silver medallist Emily Campbell and judo gold medallist Chris Skelley, who will select one winner for each of England, Wales, and Scotland.
As well as getting to see their lorry design come to life, the first prize winners will also win £1,000 for their schools, £100 Aldi vouchers, a goody bag from Team GB and ParalympicsGB, and Team GB and ParalympicsGB athletes will visit their school to share the good news! Runner-up prizes are also available in each of the regions, with the pupils in second place winning £750 for their school, along with a £50 voucher and a goody bag, while those awarded third place will receive £500 for their school and a £25 voucher.
Jemma Townsend, Marketing Director at Aldi, said: “The Design a Lorry competition is part of our collaborative efforts with Team GB and ParalympicsGB to promote healthy eating among young people. “We’re looking forward to receiving a diverse range of entries and are excited for participants to learn more about the advantages of eating a nutritious diet through the competition.”
Tim Ellerton, Commercial Director at Team GB said: “We’re really excited to be bringing our Design a Lorry competition with Aldi back for a second year! It’s a great opportunity for school pupils to get involved with, helping to inspire them to feel passionate about fresh, healthy food by bringing it to life in a creative way.”
Jenny Seymour, Commercial Director at ParalympicsGB said: “This competition offers a great chance for students to be recognised for their creativity, whilst also encouraging and motivating them to eat healthily. We’re proud to be involved and can’t wait to see the final designs.” Schools and parents can enter the Design a Lorry competition at:

Official launch of £2.7 million high tech facilities for students
New £2.7 million facilities to train students in the latest high tech industry skills have been officially launched at Askham Bryan College in York.
Around 35 business, education and civic leaders attended the opening of a £1.7 million precision livestock facility and a £1 million Digital Skills Academy this week.
Tim Whitaker, Chief Executive Officer and Principal, Askham Bryan College, said: “We are delighted to have formally opened our exciting new high tech facilities that will benefit our students and employers.” He explained: “Individually and collectively, we are all custodians
for our environment and the demand for sympathetic management of that environment, be it for food production, environmental protection, crisis management or future planning, will be paramount to a stable, sustainable future.
“It is vital that our curriculum keeps pace and equips our students 4

with new higher level technical skills that support the region’s employers.” The £1.7 million precision livestock facility has been funded by the Yorkshire and Humber Institute of Technology. Comprising a calf rearing facility and beef grower unit, and a teaching and learning space, the state-of-the-art equipment is being used by diploma and degree level students studying at University Centre Askham Bryan. The facility takes a fully digitised approach to sustainable high welfare farming. Students complete research and make animal husbandry and welfare decisions based on real time data. This includes recording each animal’s growth and health including its food and water
intake via electronic wearable devices.
The £1 million Digital Skills Academy is funded by York & North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership through the government’s Getting Building Fund.
