As EUROSPAR marks 25 incredible years of serving local communities, the brand is celebrating its long-standing relationships with local charities, community groups, schools and sports teams.

To continue the 25th anniversary celebrations following their £25,000 giveaway, EUROSPAR are also giving away five family passes for the Belfast Giants end of season fixture.

Giving back has been a central focus for the EUROSPAR brand since the first stores opened in 2000, creating significant partnerships, enabling not only the brand, but individual stores to give back to their local communities and charities that are close to their hearts.

One of the key partnerships was set up 14 years ago in 2011 with EUROSPAR’s charity partner, Cancer Fund for Children. Since then, EUROSPAR stores across the country have dedicated their time and energy into fundraising initiatives including taking on cold sea dips and braving the shave, raising almost £1.9 million in the process!

Many EUROSPAR stores across Northern Ireland also take part in the annual event which kicks off September’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month each year, the Community Coffee Mornings. The Community Coffee Mornings began in 2017 and are the biggest fundraising events for the retailer each year, raising approximately £50,000 for Cancer Fund for Children annually.

The teams behind EUROSPAR also raise money for the charity through donations from their Christmas Sandwiches and the iconic Big Red Stetsons at the annual Balmoral Show, all made possible thanks to shoppers who have also given generously over the years.

Phil Alexander, CEO at Cancer Fund for Children commented; “Being EUROSPAR’s charity partner for the past 14 years has been nothing short of incredible, seeing the dedication from the brand and the individual store staff, who always go the extra mile in their fundraising efforts. The EUROSPAR Community Coffee mornings go from strength to strength every year and they are one of the highlights in our charity’s fundraising calendar.

“The vital funds each store and member of staff has raised have helped thousands of families through the toughest times of their lives, enabling us to ensure children and their families feel supported, connected and better able to cope with the emotional impact of cancer.

“We want to extend a big thank you for the invaluable support and monumental amount of money and awareness of the impact of cancer on families across NI that EUROSPAR has raised during our partnership and send a huge congratulations for 25 successful years of serving their local communities.”

EUROSPAR has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to their neighbourhoods throughout the past 25 years. Since 2004, stores have been providing sports kits to local schools for their Sports Days. Last year, over 600 sports day kits were supplied to primary schools across the country from their local stores. As part of the celebrations this year, EUROSPAR is making School Sports Days more exciting and memorable by giving away £250 to five lucky schools, to help them purchase much needed Sports Day equipment.

In 2022, EUROSPAR stores began taking part in the Litter Pick Campaign, in which store team members clean up their local area. Henderson Group, which owns the EUROSPAR brand in Northern Ireland, provide stores with litter pick kits including large bin bags, pickers, high visibility vests and gloves to enable litter picks to take place in almost every town and neighbourhood in Northern Ireland. Teams from 54 Henderson Retail stores across the country have collected more than 2,098 bags of rubbish, cleaning up their local communities and creating better spaces for their neighbours to live in.

EUROSPAR stores across the country also show support to their local Foodbanks with regular donations from collections in-stores, donating 27,242 items through 475 donations since the initiative began in 2023.

Bronagh Luke, from EUROSPAR NI commented, “Our partnerships with local charities, community groups, schools and sports teams are so important to us and every single one of our EUROSPAR stores across NI. Our teams are so dedicated to their local communities, always looking for new ways to raise money, make donations or provide support in any way they can. This commitment runs through our brand and our store teams and has done since opening our first EUROSPAR store 25 years ago.

“It’s important to us to make a positive impact on our communities, and it is especially significant when we can help charities and local groups that our store staff hold close to their hearts. We wish to thank all local charities, organisations and groups for partnering with us and our stores over the years and we look forward to many more years of meaningful partnerships.”
