SPAR UK is a proud sponsor of the British Athletics (UKA) who connect local communities through sports.

SPAR activates this sponsorship at British Athletics events and online though the SPAR Sports Club. This is further supported at local community and school level by SPAR providing free Sports Day kits which are being rolled out to schoolchildren once again this summer.

Based on fantastic feedback from retailers, SPAR UK has produced 2,100 Sports Day kits this year, and is making them available to SPAR stores across the country in a move which helps stores to further connect with their local communities and encourage schoolchildren to get active this summer season.

The kits include letters to every school, two branded posters, five whistles, 200 bibs, one finishing line tape, a welcome banner and nine sheets of 24 ‘Well done’ stickers.

Laura McNally, SPAR Marketing Controller said: “Our SPAR branded Sports Day kits are a fantastic way for our stores to connect with their communities, all while helping schools make their sports days a really special, professional-looking event.

“Our school Sports Day kits have always proved very popular and we are confident that children, teachers and parents alike will be really pleased with the kits again this year!”

James Hall & Co. have sent out 250 sports kits to schools within the North of England, supporting events by providing fruit, water and refreshments for spectators.
