SGF’s Healthy Living Programme teams with Snappy Shopper to deliver free bananas during summer holidays

Snappy Shopper has partnered with Scottish Grocers Federation’s Healthy Living Programme (HLP).

The aim here is to boost community engagement by enabling local retailers to actively participate in promoting well-being.

To kick off the partnership, the pair will offer free bananas every Wednesday throughout August.

Alongside this, they will provide educational materials on the benefits of healthy eating and practical tips for maintaining a balanced diet.

Designed to support families during the summer holidays and ease the transition back to school, the tie up also aims to promote healthy eating habits among children and adults alike.

In a LinkedIn post, Greg Deacon, VP of Retail Media, Groups and Business Development at Snappy Shopper, said: “The key benefits of this partnership include promoting healthier choices, supporting local communities and offering streamlines convenience and accessibility to families.”

“As the summer holidays end and the back-to-school season looms, this partnership is set to make a positive impact on families across Scotland.”

“By combining the strengths of Snappy Shopper's quick commerce capabilities with HLP’s expertise in promoting well-being, this initiative promises to support and uplift communities in meaningful ways.”
