Moy Park Makes Magical Moments in Schools this Christmas!

At Moy Park, we place our local schools and communities at the heart of our business.

As part of our continued 80th anniversary celebrations we launched a festive competition online and across our social channels, encouraging parents, teachers, and the community to nominate their local primary school to win £500. 40 local schools were randomly selected, (20 in NI and 20 in GB) winning £500 to help them ‘Make Magical Moments’ this Christmas.

The response from our surrounding communities was amazing! We had a staggering 7339 entries to the competition, and the £500 awarded to each winning school will add an extra bit of sparkle to their festivities.

We are very proud to be able to help our local schools create a memorable Christmas and we’ll be visiting some of these in December to hear about what they will use the £500 towards. The response from the schools has been wonderful, the staff and pupils are thrilled to receive this donation from Moy Park and our Community Support Fund, which funded the donations in GB, to help Make Magical Moments this merry season.

Keep an eye out on our Moy Park socials for some lovely photos of our visits to the schools! Below, is a list of the 40 schools in NI and GB who will receive a £500 donation:
