To enter the competition which launches on Friday (13th May), customers must scan the QR code at the Moo’d ice cream kiosk at their local SuperValu or Centra store and nominate the primary school they want to win. The school with the most nominations by the end of the competition will win.

Made by family-run business Ice Cream Treats, Moo’d is now available in 30 SuperValu and Centra stores in Northern Ireland.

Moo’d prioritises natural ingredients and simplicity, steering clear of vegetable and palm oils and using natural flavours as much as possible. It is made using dairy cream from over 3,100 farmers across the island of Ireland with a range that includes something for everyone.

Julie Cherry, SuperValu and Centra Trading Director said: “We believe that the pupils deserve a treat to celebrate the end of a successful and tiring school year, so we’re excited to launch our Moo’d ice cream competition to give them just that.

“Moo’d ice cream is our exclusive ice cream brand handcrafted by a group of local experts. They offer such a wide selection of products and the most amazing flavours such as Madagascan Vanilla, Cookies and Cream and Salted Caramel. The winning schools will receive tubs of ice cream for the entire school – students, teachers and all staff. We hope the competition will lift everyone’s mood and help to kickstart the summer the right way!”

The Moo’d ice cream competition opens on Friday, 13^th May and closes on 12^th June. To enter, simply visit one of the local stores with a Moo’d Kiosk, scan the QR code at the kiosk and nominate your local primary school. Nominations made in SuperValu and Centra stores will be counted separately, so there will be one winning school for SuperValu and another for Centra. Go on, give it a whirl!

Set up by community group Crossgar Life as lockdown eased in May this year, the group has galvanised 30 women to gather each week to pound the pavements and take in the beautiful scenery in the local area, an initiative which has helped keep them social and active through tough times.

The group has given participants the opportunity to get that vital social interaction that was lost during lockdown, but in a safe and creative way.

Now that the darker nights have come in, the Crossgar ladies walking group have been given a donation of high visibility vests from local retailer, EUROSPAR Crossgar, enabling them to continue their programme into the autumn/winter months.

Crossgar Life said the walking group has become so special to all involved: “So many women in the local area expressed an interest to meet each other and get active after the lockdowns were lifted, and with the help of Walking for Health, an initiative from the local health trust, we have been able to set up a six week programme, which comprises of five weeks of walking and one week where we all take part in a social activity.

“We are now on our third set of walks since May 2021, and were worried about numbers dropping due to the darker nights. Thankfully, EUROSPAR Crossgar has donated these fabulous vests which will make sure we’re visible on our routes, but also gives us a sense of a team now that we have our own kit to wear!”

Nicola Tate, Store Manager of EUROSPAR Crossgar added: “The walking group has become an essential part of these local women’s lives. They’ve made great friends and have all benefitted from it in some way, whether it be improved mood and reduced feelings of stress, or to gain fitness.

“We are very proud to support this important local initiative and hope they gain more walkers as the weeks go by.”

The group gathered at the store recently to receive their vests from Nicola, who also distributed Barista Bar coffee vouchers to keep them warm on that night’s walk.

Nicola added: “It was lovely to meet the whole group and fuel them up with some coffees from Barista Bar for their walk. It was a bit of a rainy night so the hot drinks definitely put a spring in their steps!”
