This Friday (June 9), shoppers can guess how many sweets are in the jar with a donation – whoever guesses the closest will win! Shoppers can also purchase tickets for the in-store raffle to win a luxury hamper, filled with fresh food and treats. The store will also turn yellow as the team don their Marie Curie t-shirts.

There is a fantastic hamper filled with local foods to be won! It will be a great day full of fun for a great cause.”
The Blooming Great Summer fundraiser is sponsored by Punjana Tea and comes hot off the heels of Balmoral Show, where visitors raised an incredible £26,758 thanks to their donations in return for one of the infamous red hats. The total will be split between Marie Curie and Cancer Fund for Children.
Conor O’Kane, Senior Partnership Manager, Marie Curie added: “For five years SPAR NI has been smashing through fundraising milestones for Marie Curie, and now they have raised over £750,000.
“This is an incredible total that helps our organisation provide vital end of life care and support throughout local communities, and at our Belfast hospice."
