SPAR 60th Community Fund offers Leitrim clubs and groups the chance to win €60,000 in funding

SPAR is inviting all community clubs and groups across Leitrim to apply for a chance to win €10,000 in funding and a meet and greet with brand ambassador and Olympic gold medallist Kellie Harrington as part of their new SPAR 60th Community Fund which was launched today. 

Through the SPAR 60th Community Fund, six local community clubs, groups or programmes will be rewarded with €10,000 each, along with the chance to meet Olympic Champion Kellie Harrington and take her on in a fun series of challenges this summer. 

This campaign builds on SPAR’s established Community Fund initiative which was launched in December 2021. This announcement will see Ireland’s leading convenience retailer direct investment reaching €80,000 into deserving community projects across the country, something that is indicative of SPAR’s ongoing commitment of giving back to local communities and their customers.  

Local clubs who enter the SPAR 60th Community Fund, not only have the chance of winning €10,000 but they will also be invited to a meet and greet session with SPAR ambassador and Olympic Champion Kellie Harrington this summer, engaging in fun activities together and it is a chance for Kellie to learn about the successful clubs and the vital work they undertake in their local community. 

SPAR and Kellie are inviting all community groups to apply for a chance to win. Applications will open on 27th March and will close on 30th April.
