Proudfoot supermarket group has donated £500 to West Pier Juniors, one of Scarborough’s grassroots junior football clubs, to help fund coach training to FA standards, and to help purchase new balls, bibs and cones for the club.

The family business supported the club through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity, which raises funds from the sale of Co-op own label products, in addition to funds raised via the four supermarkets’ in-store collecting tins.

“This donation really is appreciated by everyone at West Pier Juniors. It will go a long way to helping coaches get qualifications and buy vital equipment,” Alec Coulson, coach, West Pier Juniors, said on behalf of himself and fellow coach Ben Salt.

Valerie Aston, director at the Proudfoot Group, added: “We are delighted to be able to use our Making a Difference Locally funds to support good causes in the area.

“We would like to thank our customers for their continued support, through the in-store collecting tins and purchases of Co-op products in our stores; as without their support these community donations would not be possible.”

Strong growth for Premier Foods

Britain's Premier Foods reported a 4.6 per cent rise in half-year revenue, driven by continued growth in its grocery business and brands such as Mr Kipling, Nissin and The Spice Tailor, shows the results reported today (14).

As UK inflation eased during the first half of the year, consumers who had been cautious about non-essential spending began to loosen their purse strings. That bodes well for food manufacturers who aggressively hiked prices at the peak of a cost of living crisis over the past few years.

Shoppers save on grocery essentials ahead of Christmas

Shoppers are saving on grocery essentials to be able to afford treats and indulgences during Christmas while the festive time is expected to see a boost in sales of premium private label food and drink as more people "dine at home" , shows recent industry data.

According to total till data from NIQ, sales growth in UK stores stores slowed to 4.0 per cent in the four weeks ending 2nd November, down from a 4.7 per cent rise in the previous month. The research firm suggested that this is likely due to shoppers holding back their spending in anticipation of Black Friday at the end of the month and the upcoming Christmas festivities.
