Tesco has introduced a £5m grant programme to give children across the UK a stronger start in life. The grants will help schools and children’s groups provide nutritious food and healthy activities that support young people’s physical health and mental wellbeing, such as breakfast clubs or snacks, and equipment for healthy activities.
Tesco Stronger Starts is open to schools, PTAs, community and voluntary groups, registered charities, community councils, CICs (limited by guarantee), local authorities, housing organisations and other not-for-profit organisations.
The scheme will provide grants of up to £1,500. Every three months, three local good causes are selected for the blue token customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK. Tesco Stronger Starts replaces the former ‘blue token’ community grants scheme.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
Financial help for schools and other local groups to provide healthy food and activities that boost young people’s mental and physical wellbeing.
