SPAR and EUROSPAR stores across the country are continuing to support schools in their local communities by giving away a total of £7,500.

15 schools now have the opportunity to win £500 ahead of their return this September.

Last year, 10 schools across Antrim, Belfast, Coleraine, Cookstown, Larne, Lisburn, Newry, Newtownabbey and Strabane were all awarded £500 to help them purchase equipment for the upcoming school year.

Shoppers are invited to nominate their local schools to receive the cash, via QR codes which can be scanned in-store. From textbooks to sports equipment and classroom upgrades, the winning schools can spend the £500 on whatever is most needed this new school year.

Alex Long at Henderson Group, which owns the SPAR and EUROSPAR brands in Northern Ireland, commented, “Giving back to our local communities is at the heart of everything we do. We know schools are often under pressure, so it’s great to be able to provide even more local schools with a boost this year to help them purchase much needed equipment for the new school year and show our support for our communities.”

The competition launches on 10th August and closes on 30th August 2026. Shoppers can find and scan a QR code instore or nominate online via spar-ni.co.uk/competition/
