Sainsbury’s Active Kids campaign is open again, encouraging shoppers to collect 
vouchers when shopping at Sainsburys and donating them to local causes to convert
into sport kit and experiences.

This is the seventh year of Active Kids, which has expanded beyond just schools 
to include Scout and Guide groups, nurseries and sports clubs.

Since 2005, over 40,000 of these organisations have shared over £100 million of 
sports and cookery equipment and coaching experiences.

Organisations new to the scheme have to register, but they can start encouraging
their supporters to collect vouchers from now on. Organisations that registered 
in past years do not need to re-register, unless their details have changed.

Active Kids vouchers can be collected when shopping at Sainsburys between 9 February
and 31 May 2011. One voucher is earned for every £10 spent in a single transaction
to 31 May 2011 at all main stores, online for groceries, or at Sainsbury’s petrol
filling stations, and for each £5 spent in a single transaction at Sainsbury’s Locals.

Nectar card holders can also convert their Nectar points into Active Kids vouchers
and donate them at nectar.com. Five hundred Nectar points are converted into 50 
Active Kids 1 point vouchers.

If your organisation is collecting the vouchers then it must use them for orders
by 22 July 2011.

Last year’s offer of a free tree pack is being run once again, in partnership with
the Woodland Trust. Organisations simply have to select a free edible tree pack 
on their order form when placing an order. There are 10,000 free tree packs, but
they are available on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
