The Sainsbury's Magical mince pie windows are being launched by the grocer in four locations in the UK as a way to provide a treat for consumers and also promote its social good initiatives this holiday season.
The promotion will see consumers in London, Newcastle, Birmingham and Manchester treated to a complimentary mince pie and a warm spiced tea just for visiting one of the windows. The promotion is being launched with the help of Comic Relief supporter Shirley Ballas and is arriving alongside the brand's commitment to donating proceeds from the purchase of its classic mince pies to those experiencing poverty this season.
Director of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Ruth Cranston spoke on the Sainsbury's Magical mince pie windows campaign saying, "We know our customers love the chance to give back and this Christmas we’re making it easier than ever. Throughout December, every by Sainsbury’s and Free from classic mince pie purchased will help support those experiencing food poverty this winter. Our ‘Magical mince pie windows’ offer a fun, festive way to enjoy a treat on us – with the option to donate £1 to Comic Relief if you’re able. This is all part of our mission to make good food accessible for everyone, and we’re thrilled to continue that work with our friends at Comic Relief."
