Spar UK is offering £50,000 to support local schools in their communities across the UK, following the success of its ‘School Sports Day Grants’ campaign last year.
The 2024 campaign will give Spar shoppers in England, Scotland and Wales the chance to apply for a £200 grant for their local primary or secondary school to enable them to buy much needed sports equipment.
Suzanne Dover SPAR UK brand and marketing director said that stores want to do their bit to keep the younger generations healthy and active. “We are delighted to announce that our school sports day grants campaign is launching again on the 8th February.
“With over 2,000 entries last year, we hope to have even more schools apply this year and bring more SPAR stores and schools together in the community. This campaign has been a great means to encourage shoppers to visit their local SPAR store when applying for a grant.”
From 8 February shoppers will be able to scan a QR code in a SPAR store or visit the SPAR website to apply for their local school.
The symbol group is supporting the campaign with paid social media adverts, as well as inspirational video content featuring GB athlete Marli Jessop.
Its website will also feature a designated landing page with tips on how to keep active and get involved with sports outside of school.
The campaign will be live until 20th March 2024 with winning schools being contacted in May 2024.
