**Sainsbury’s Active Kids campaign is back with vouchers available in-store until
2^(nd) May.**

The annual campaign to get children eating, moving, and living well has seen the
supermarket donate over £170m worth of equipment and experiences to schools and 
clubs since 2005. [Active Kids](https://activekids.sainsburys.co.uk/) is open to
schools, nurseries, Scout and Girlguiding groups, and Clubmark accredited sports
clubs (and certain equivalent clubs).

Shoppers receive one voucher for every £5 they spend in local store, and for every
£10 spent in a supermarket, or online. Vouchers can then be handed in to a participating
school or club, which can redeem them for active or cooking equipment, or experiences
from the Active Kids catalogue.

This year, new items include a veg garden grobox, a mini greenhouse, Walking Bus
Hi-Vis vests, tents, and mountain shelters. Sainsbury’s is also reintroducing the
banking of vouchers for 2017, meaning that any that aren’t used can be carried over
to 2018.

Downloadable toolkits and active packs are available from the website as usual for
each type of participating organisation from the Active Kids site, and this year’s
Active Kids ambassadors are swimmer Ellie Simmonds, footballers Daniel Sturridge
and Lucy Bronze, and sprinter Jonnie Peacock.
