Leading symbol group, SPAR Scotland, is proud to announce that in 2024, over £175,000 has been donated to local communities across the country. This remarkable milestone highlights SPAR Scotland’s commitment to nurturing neighbourhoods and supporting causes that make a real difference to people’s lives.
The donations have supported a wide range of initiatives, including contributions to SPAR’s national charity partner Marie Curie, support through the 2024 SPAR Community Cashback campaign, and individual donations to countless local charities, groups, and events throughout Scotland.
Contributions have been tailored to meet community needs, taking the form of cash, vouchers, or products. A significant portion of this support has gone towards sponsoring local football and other sporting teams, as well as local events that align with SPAR’s core values of promoting healthy and active lifestyles.
SPAR Scotland’s longstanding dedication to local communities reflects the strong connections, stores have made in the neighbourhoods they serve.
Colin McLean, CEO of SPAR Scotland, said: “We are incredibly proud of the support we have been able to provide local communities around Scotland in 2024. Being there for our communities is one of our most important brand values, and we will continue to champion local causes that make a difference throughout 2025.
“Many requests come directly from individuals, while others are highlighted by our network of SPAR stores and independent retailers, who are deeply embedded in their local areas. This grassroots approach ensures that support is directed where it is needed most, creating meaningful impacts on local causes and initiatives.”
As the year draws to a close, SPAR Scotland looks forward to continuing its support for communities across Scotland, ensuring that 2025 is another year of building local partnerships and community spirit.
