Carabao Energy Drink announces partnership with MND Scotland

The low calorie, lower sugar energy drink brand Carabao has announced a partnership with MND Scotland. The brand, which is the Official Energy Drink partner of Heart of Midlothian FC, will be donating a percentage of product sales made via the Hearts website to the charity up until the end of 2022.

The announcement comes with the brand currently mid-way through the second year of its partnership with the club, who are proud to wear the MND Scotland logo on the front of their match shirts. The charity is close to the hearts of all Hearts supporters and the wider community after former captain Marius Zaliukas tragically lost his fight with Motor Neurone Disease in 2020.


Carabao is proud to be a community sponsor for Hearts, engaging with fans and promoting all match day social media posts on drinkcarabao.co.uk throughout the season. Customers will also be able to redeem £5 off their first multipack order of Carabao Energy Drinks with the promotional code ‘TRY5’, incredible value for fans who want to give Carabao a try.

“Our wider agreement with Heart of Midlothian FC has given us the opportunity to discover the issues that the club’s supporters hold close to their hearts, and we were particularly touched by the story of Marius Zaliukas,” said Carabao’s Chief Marketing Officer, John Luck.

“With MND Scotland commemorating more than 40 years of fantastic support for those battling against Motor Neurone Disease, we are delighted to be able to join the fight against this terrible illness.”

Morag McGown, Corporate Partnership Manager said: “We are delighted that Carabao, the Official Energy Drink partner of Heart of Midlothian FC, will be donating a portion of all ongoing sales to support the work of MND Scotland.

“We are here to make life easier for every person living with motor neurone disease in Scotland, by providing physical, financial and emotional support when they need it most. We campaign for people's rights, raise awareness of the disease, and fund ground-breaking MND research which is taking us closer to finding a cure.

“It's thanks to companies like Carabao we can make sure that no one has to go through the devastation of MND alone."

Carabao’s range of fruity flavoured energy drinks are available to purchase at McColl’s, KeyStores, Day Today, Savers, Nisa, Costcutter, BP and SPAR stores in Scotland.

Rising inflation may subdue household spending this Christmas according to the latest figures from Asda’s Income Tracker.

The tracker, which measures household disposable income, fell for only the second time this year, decreasing by £1.98 in October, leaving the average UK household with £247 per week. The 2.3 per cent rise in inflation was primarily driven by higher energy prices, reflecting the rise in the Ofgem price cap that took place at the start of the month and caused housing, water, electricity, and gas bills to increase.

Brits called on to stand with retail staff in fight against crime, abuse

As the busy shopping period begins with Black Friday and Christmas around the corner, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and its retail members are calling on the public to stand together against violence and abuse towards retail workers this Christmas.

From those working in stores, to those delivering goods and those working in customer service centres, everyone deserves a safe Christmas. Christmas is an incredibly complex and challenging time of year for the retail industry, with stores and delivery services working overtime to deliver for customers. Colleagues are extra busy keeping shelves stocked and ensuring products are delivered on time, yet those working in retail are often subject to more violence and abuse during this period.

Calls raised for industry-wide debate on frozen food temperatures

Karen McQuade, the recently elected president of the British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF), has called for its members to engage in the debate about raising the standard temperature for frozen food.

Addressing the Federation’s annual lunch earlier this week, McQuade said that there is a compelling environmental case for raising the standard – which has been set at -18 degrees since the frozen food industry was born 100 years ago.
