SPAR UK’s Community Cashback scheme returns

May 12, 2025 IN THE CATEGORY: Community, Responsible retailing

SPAR UK's £100,000 Community Cashback scheme returns for a fourth consecutive year to support local causes throughout the region.

This initiative provides vital funding for charities, local organisations, voluntary and community groups across the UK.

Following three hugely successful years, SPAR UK is giving back to the local communities in which it serves. Last year, SPAR UK awarded more than 50 charities and local causes with grants of up to £10,000, helping them make a real difference in their communities. With over 10,000 entries last year alone, the demand for support was clear, reinforcing SPAR UK’s commitment to giving back.

Shoppers across the UK can nominate a local charity or organisation from April 24th until June 4th. Voters just need to highlight the exceptional contribution the organisation has made and explain how a grant would help further their work. Then, the £100,000 fund will be distributed across all geographical regions of the UK, with individual grants of up to £10,000 available.

Ian Taylor, Retail and Brand Development Director at SPAR UK, said: Our SPAR Community Cashback campaign is all about supporting the communities where our stores are located. We have seen first-hand the incredible impact these grants have on local organisations, and are proud to continue giving back.

“This initiative is more than just funding – it’s a way of showing our shoppers that we truly care about the causes close to their hearts. Supporting local communities has always been part of SPAR’s heritage, and we are committed to making a tangible difference where it matters most.”
