SUPERVALU Downpatrick supports local school breakfast club

• £1,500 sponsorship helps ensure pupils at St Colmcille’s PS start the day with a nutritious meal

SuperValu Downpatrick is helping pupils at St Colmcille’s Primary School start their day on a positive note, through a £1,500 sponsorship of the school’s Breakfast Club throughout May and June.

The initiative ensures that children attending the Ballymote-based school have access to a free, nutritious breakfast, supporting both their wellbeing and readiness to learn.

St Colmcille’s Primary School serves families in the local Ballymote area, and the provision of a free breakfast offers meaningful support to pupils and their families, helping to establish healthy routines.  

By backing the Breakfast Club, SuperValu Downpatrick is reinforcing its role as a community retailer, committed to supporting local initiatives that make a tangible difference.

Mr Stephen Austin, Principal of St Colmcille’s Primary School said: “We are incredibly grateful to SuperValu Downpatrick for their generous support.

“Providing both a free breakfast and a reduced cost breakfast for our pupils has made a real difference to our school community, ensuring every child can start the day nourished, focused and ready to learn.”

SuperValu Downpatrick store manager, Elaine Sharvin added:  “SuperValu Downpatrick is proud to support St Colmcille’s Primary School’s Breakfast Club.

“We understand the importance of starting the day with a nutritious meal, and we’re delighted to help provide pupils in our local community with the positive start they need to learn, grow and thrive.”
