SuperValu Let’s GROW winning school announced

Drumroll please… we’re hugely excited to announce the long-awaited results of our SuperValu Let’s GROW competition. A huge congratulations to our 2023 champions Solas Chríost in Tallaght, who have won €1000 for a school garden.

Buzzing with excitement, the school was awarded the €1000 by Alan Jordan, SuperValu Fortunestown owner, who said “Supporting local and Irish food growers is a key pillar of SuperValu’s identity and I’m thrilled to see the dedication that has been shown in our community by the children at Solas Chríost. At SuperValu Fortunestown, we’ll do everything we can to continue the momentum, and foster a lifelong passion for, and interest in, food in the community.”

The initiative was launched in the spring of 2023, and 50,000 pupils across Ireland have since taken part. Participants have the opportunity to grow food in their classrooms and engage with a learning initiative on how to grow their own food. The project sponsored by SuperValu and rolled out by GIY, aims to educate and enable a global movement of food growers, whose collective actions will help to build a sustainable food system.

A massive thank you to all 1,600 schools across Ireland for taking part. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
