**Sainsbury’s Active Kids initiative, which encourages people to collect vouchers
that schools and groups can convert into sports equipment and training, is back 
for 2008.**

From now until 4 June 2008 shoppers can earn Active Kids vouchers every time they
shop at Sainsbury’s. Every £10 you spend with Sainsbury’s will earn one voucher.
Vouchers can be donated to schools, Scout or Guide groups.

This year Sainsbury’s has added 400 new items of sports equipment to the catalogue,
and schools and groups can now choose to use their vouchers to take young people
to watch top sports stars at Rugby Union, netball or basketball matches.

In addition schools, Scout or Guide groups can now donate vouchers or equipment 
to schools that have a greater need for them. in the UK or overseas.

Last year alone a record 233 million Active Kids vouchers were redeemed. This resulted
in schools, Guide and Scout groups sharing in £18 million worth of Active Kids equipment
and experiences. That is an average of £630 per school or group.
