Vegetable supplier, Gilfresh Produce has teamed up with Musgrave Retail Partners (MRPNI) to help raise funds for NI’s leading cancer charity, Action Cancer.

The Loughgall company, which has been supplying vegetables to MRPNI for 18 years, will donate 10p for every seasonal vegetable pack sold across the three retail brands – SuperValu, Centra, and Mace, throughout Northern Ireland from April 5-25.

The promotion will benefit Action Cancer, which has been supported by Musgrave for over 14 years through SuperValu’s sponsorship of its Big Bus and Centra’s support of the charity’s Health Action Programme.

The offer by Gilfresh Produce involves the 1kg Seasonal Vegetable pack, which consists of carrot, parsnip, turnip, onion and parsley, on special offer for £1 throughout the period.

Aiden Kearney, MRPNI trading manager said: “We are delighted to have Gilfresh Produce support our charity partner Action Cancer through this fantastic promotion, as Musgrave continues to support the Action Cancer Big Bus and Health Action programme.

“I would encourage our customers throughout Northern Ireland to pick up a pack in-store during the three-week promotion.”

SuperValu has sponsored the Action Cancer Big Bus since 2001, which visits 220 communities providing breast screenings for more than 4,500 women and health checks and advice for over 2,600 people each year.

Centra supports Action Cancer through its Health Action Programme which has delivered healthy lifestyle messages to more than 480,000 young people since its launch 11 years ago.

Action Cancer’s Gillian Thomson added: “This is a fantastic way to help raise money for Action Cancer and I would like to thank Gilfresh Produce and Musgrave Retail Partners for supporting us as we continue our mission to save lives and support local people affected by cancer through detection, support, prevention and awareness.”
