CJ Lang will give 114 charities – one for every company-owned store the Spar Scotland wholesaler operates – £1,000 each as part of its 100th birthday celebrations.
Interested charities or the general public can nominate simply by visiting the Spar Scotland website and completing an application form. The campaign runs from 19 August to 30 September 2019.
To be eligible, organisations must have a Registered Charity Number, and carry out activities in a Spar store’s local area.
Spar Scotland will then contact successful charities by email or phone within three months of the closing date. The lucky recipients will then be invited to a cheque presentation event at a central location.
CJ Lang boss Colin McLean said: “By giving away £1,000 to charities close to all our stores, we are strengthening our position as Scotland’s favourite convenience retailer, by supporting charities in the communities we serve.”
Spar Scotland has a long history of supporting both national and local charities, community groups and organisations. Over the last decade it has donated £700,000 (pictured), raised through customer purchases of 5p carrier bags.
