Spar Scotland has announced a record year of charitable giving, donating £200,000 in 2025 to support good causes across the country, and surpassing last year’s donation total of £180,000.
The group has continued its support for Marie Curie, Spar’s national charity partner, while also donating to hundreds of local causes across the country – from primary schools, care homes and football clubs to defibrillator units, foodbanks, community councils, theatre groups, pantomimes, and hospitals.
Colin McLean, CEO of Spar Scotland, said: “We have donated a significant amount to groups large and small across Scotland, where our customers really are our neighbours. Our colleagues work and very often live in the local communities where our stores are based, so we really do feel we are part of the local fabric. Supporting local people and causes is something we take great pride in, and it is part of what makes Spar Scotland such a special brand.”
Funds are raised through a combination of in-store collections and local fundraising events, all backed by the enthusiasm and generosity of Spar Scotland’s colleagues, retailers, and customers.
McLean added: “Whether it’s through our national partnership with Marie Curie or the countless local initiatives supported by our stores, we are delighted to make a real difference where it matters most, in the heart of our communities.”
