Aldi, which has stores across the county including in Telford, Shrewsbury and Oswestry, will be giving away £100 Aldi vouchers to parents every week for a whole year. 

Named the ‘Mamia New Parent Fund’, the voucher is designed to support parents with the cost of everyday items after welcoming a new baby.

It comes as research among new parents found that while welcoming a child is a joyful time, half also describe it as overwhelming. 

Meanwhile, 45 per cent admitted that their stress levels increased as a result of the added financial pressure.
