Supermarket Sainsbury’s has launched Active Kids, a scheme that enables shoppers
to collect vouchers which they can donate to a school to exchange “for a range of
active equipment and experiences.”
Active equipment on offer includes playground
marketings, publications, storage and kit for many sports including basketball, 
golf, climbing, badminton, and rugby. “We’ve got something for all types of school
and all ages and abilities”, say Sainbury’s.

Active experiences available include paintball, ice skating, salsa dancing and scuba
diving. However, not all experiences are available nationwide.

Starting in April 2005, there is nationwide Active Kids roadshow which will let 
pupils try out some of the Active Kids equipment in Sainsbury’s stores.

The vouchers can be collected when shopping at Sainsbury’s between 2 March and 30
June 2005. For every £10 anyone spends at Sainsbury’s, both online and instore, 
they will receive one Active Kids voucher. In addition, “to reinforce our commitment
to healthier living”, Sainsbury’s will issue an extra voucher for every £5 spent
on fresh fruit and vegetables.

Sainsbury’s shoppers can also donate their Nectar points to the Active Kids scheme.

Other shops taking part in the scheme include Bells, Beaumount’s and Jackson’s stores,
although they will choose their own nominated schools.
