    Bags of Help is our exciting local community grant scheme where the money raised from the 5p bag charge is being used to fund thousands of local projects in communities right across the UK. Projects that bring benefit to their community will get the green light – these range from improving community buildings and outdoor spaces to buying new equipment, training coaches or volunteers, and hosting community events.

    We are proud to be working with Groundwork to help us administer the scheme.

    It’s your money – so where the money goes locally is up to you.

    Nominate local projects or apply for funding

    We’re encouraging community groups and charities to apply for a grant. We’re also asking our customers to nominate local projects that they’d like to see receive some cash.

    Find out more by visiting http://www.groundwork.org.uk/tescobagsofhelp.

    Customers vote

    Three community projects in each local area will be voted on by customers in our stores across England, Scotland and Wales, with the projects changing every other month. Each time you shop you will be offered a token at the checkout and be able to vote for your favourite project.

    Grants are awarded

    At the end of the voting period, all three projects will receive funding in each local area. The amount of funding available for individual local projects will range from £1,000 to £4,000 – keep a look out for the results in store and online.

    This money is already making a huge difference to thousands of local communities.
