Sales of a range of seven different sandwiches at SPAR stores across the North of
England have raised £200,000 for the NSPCC’s ChildLine Schools Service.

The [campaign started in 2011](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/2011/11/17/spar-festive-feast-sandwich-benefit-nspcc-and-childline-again/),
and this week the four millionth sandwich was sold. For every sandwich sold, SPAR
donated 5p.

The most popular sandwich was the **SPAR Chicken Salad**. Sales of that alone raised**
£37,187.75**.

The sandwiches are made by staff at James Hall & Co factories in Blackpool** **and
Preston. The company is the SPAR distributor for the North of England and supplies
over 540 stores across the region.

SPAR Chicken Salad was the most popular fundraising sandwich.

Maribeth Lloyds, NSPCC corporate partnerships fundraising manager, said:

> “James Hall & Co and SPAR have been fantastic supporters of the NSPCC and ChildLine
> for a number of years. It’s great to see them reach such a huge milestone with
> their sandwich sales. Many customers won’t realise that their lunch is helping
> to support children but the 5ps have certainly mounted up and will really help
> us keep children safe from harm, giving them a brighter, happier future.”

SPAR has been working in partnership with the NSPCC and ChildLine since 2006 and
has raised **over £4 million** to support the charity.
