Spar and Marie Curie are encouraging people to bake their favourite cakes, hold a tea party and raise vital funds to help ensure more people, whatever their illness, get the end of life care they urgently need.
From 8 to 28 August, participating Spar stores are supporting the Blooming Great Tea Party by hosting tea parties and raising vital funds for the UK’s end of life charity Marie Curie.
During the campaign, shoppers can also show their support when they buy selected products in their local Spar store. Well-known household brands including Diet Coke, Rubicon Sparkling Mango, Cadbury’s Milk Chocolate, and McVitie’s Milk Chocolate Digestives have a 5p per unit donation to Marie Curie.
Lily Whitlam, Corporate Partnership Lead at Marie Curie, said: “It’s fantastic to see so many stores getting involved with the campaign already. On behalf of everyone at Marie Curie, a massive thank you to Spar colleagues, suppliers and shoppers for getting behind this campaign. Every pound raised is vital to help us improve end of life care and give people the vital emotional and practical help they need.”
The partnership has raised more than £3.5m since 2017.
