​Tesco Community Grants

Bags of Help is Tesco’s local community grant scheme, which funds thousands of community projects every year.  The projects must meet the criteria of bringing benefits to the community.  During October, November and December 2020 the grant scheme will provide grants of £1000 to support projects focused on local children and young people.

The next round of Tesco funding is focusing on Children and Young People, they would therefore encourage applications as soon as possible from groups who would benefit from this funding opportunity.

This theme could cover a large mixture of local causes.  Examples include:
​

• Mental Health support for children and young people – COVID-19 has had an impact on the health and well being of children, particularly mental health.
• Outdoor activities – sport & green space provision for children & young people including use of green spaces support well being through physical activities.
• Non statuary educational activities – to support, widen and rebuild educational support networks for children, web based activities. Sport, exercise, and arts.
• Young carers– support for young carers as a result of current and continued isolation.
• Bereavement counselling – offering support to children that have lost family members and support networks due to COVID-19
• Child poverty – to support organisations that offer family support that are further impacted by COVID-19, which could include food/educational packs, free activities.
