Strong corporate social responsibility policy of SPAR Gran Canaria shapes their continuous focus on community. With the multitude of projects initiatives and collaborations, the retail organisation continues to support local causes and charities. A few of the activities held in 2024 are highlighted below.

Collaboration with Caritas charity   

SPAR Gran Canaria for the fourth time joined the charity initiative of selling solidarity bracelets to benefit Caritas. With close collaboration with the Pérez Bolaños group and the social welfare area of the Agüimes Town Hall, 1,500 euros was raised. The money will be used to cover the food needs of the families in need at the three Caritas offices in the municipality of Agüimes.  

Continuing the work with Caritas charity, SPAR Gran Canaria again joined the ‘Solidarity Breakfasts’ food collection campaign, promoted together with Rotary Club Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Rotary Club Tafira. The products collected were used to meet the needs of the four Cáritas Diocesana social dining rooms in Gran Canaria.  

Continuous work with the Las Palmas Down Syndrome Association  

For the fourth consecutive year, SPAR Gran Canaria participated in the initiative of selling the solidarity calendars. The income raised from the sale of these calendars will be allocated to support activities of the Association, dedicated to more than 200 families in the province of Las Palmas.  

The theme of the 2025 calendar highlights the role of sport in promotion of social inclusion. Each month includes images of the Association’s users doing sports such as gymnastics, tennis, football, surfing, or yoga.   

Celebrating with community   

In October 2024 SPAR Gran Canaria celebrated 38 years of commitment to their shoppers with a series of gifts, including more than 45,000 euros in shopping cards. Prizes were distributed through SPAR Gran Canaria’s online website and directly at stores.

About SPAR Spain

SPAR Spain was founded in 1959 when a group of wholesalers who wished to join an international organisation came together. As a result, the brand became the first voluntary trading chain to be established in Spain, having been granted a license by SPAR International. Together, 13 regional SPAR wholesalers actively continue the expansion of the brand across the country.
