Spar UK has awarded more than 50 charities and local causes across the UK with grants of up to £10,000.
The grants come as part of the retailer’s ’Community Cashback’ campaign, designed to help local voluntary or community organisations on behalf of its shoppers.
With over 10,000 entries to the campaign this year, 54 charities have been chosen to receive grants to help communities that need support the most.
Now running for three years, the retailer said it has committed to providing funding for a variety of charity organisations including those that care for people in their communities and make a difference where it matters.
As part of the 2024 campaign, the selection of charities chosen includes those helping people find emergency accommodation, accessing therapy dog services, raising awareness of water safety and looking after those at the end of their lives.
In Northern Ireland, 20 local organisations were chosen to receive a grant.
Ian Taylor retail and brand development director at Spar UK explained that its grant scheme is aimed at supporting and giving back to the communities where Spar stores are located: “We’ve seen first-hand how much last year’s grant winners have benefited from this scheme and know that together, we are making a real difference in communities.”
