Tesco’s Bags of Help Grant Initiative for Green Spaces
The supermarket chain Tesco has launched a community grant initiative which will fund capital projects for school playgrounds.
The emphasis of the grant is on providing green spaces and because Tesco is expecting there to be a major demand for grants, the charity Groundwork will assess all of the applications received and then provide a shortlist of the applications received for a Tesco Shortlisting panel who will agree three successful projects to forward to a vote in Tesco stores.
Tesco customers will vote over two weekends in their store for their favourite shortlisted local project. Grants will then be awarded as follows:
- 1st place in Tesco customer vote: £12,000 grant
- 2nd place in Tesco customer vote: £10,000 grant
- 3rd place in Tesco customer vote: £8,000 grant
Round one of funding is now complete but the second round of funding is to open again on Monday 18th April. You don’t need to have any match funding but if you do, this must not be higher than 25% of the overall budget cost.
The lucky winners will need to complete their projects within 12 months of receiving the funding. For further information on this grant and how to apply, please visit:
