Give "LUV" this Christmas and help prevent Suicide
For all of you "The apprentice" buffs, you will be aware that team Platinum won an Apprentice challenge set by SPAR to create a Christmas themed product that would be sold in 470 SPAR stores nationwide, with all proceeds going to the SPAR charity of the year, the 3Ts. The team developed the “Luv Bear”, allowing people around Ireland to communicate their feelings for one another and demonstrate their “love” by way of giving a gift of a “Luv Bear” and at the same time supporting the 3Ts – turn the tide of suicide.
All monies from the product will go towards the new 24 hour suicide prevention line “1life”, a joint venture between The 3ts and Console. 1life is a 24-hour suicide prevention helpline for anyone in suicidal distress. Professional counsellors and volunteers respond to calls seven days a week to support callers in need of help.
The "Luv Bear" is now available in all Spar and Spar Express stores nationwide for just €2.99.
So go on and pick up a "Luv Bear" today and share the love!
