The sponsorship of The Hundred is a key element of the KP Snacks People & Planet responsible business approach.

The new on-pack promotion, spotlights KP Snacks’  Everyone In campaign designed to encourage families to adopt healthier lifestyles by getting involved in cricket. First launched in 2021 alongside the inaugural The Hundred tournament, the Everyone In initiative supports KP Snacks’ commitment to deliver over a million opportunities to get active by 2033.

In 2023, KP Snacks launched its community cricket pitch programme, aiming to get “Everyone In” to cricket by targeting urban areas and communities that have not previously had access to the sport. This year, the business is installing a further 35 community cricket pitches across the country to create lasting access to cricket. By improving access to sport for different communities and encouraging healthier lifestyles, KP Snacks is supporting both consumers and communities, two key pillars of its People & Planet programme.

Kevin McNair, Marketing Director at KP Snacks, says, “As we mark a fourth year in our partnership with The Hundred, we are excited to be both launching a new on-pack promotion with our biggest ever prize pool and continuing our Everyone In initiative. Protecting the wellbeing of current and future generations by encouraging healthier lifestyles is a fundamental element of our People & Planet responsible business programme. With giveaways of cricket equipment planned alongside the continued installation of community pitches, we are proud to be improving access to sports for our communities”
