Bags of Help

Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative across England and Wales. The scheme will see three community groups and projects awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s 390 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags.

The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.

We have secured a grant within the County for a new toilet block at Raywell which will replace the existing facilities which are in need of repair. We now need you to vote for us to try and increase the amount of the grant that will be awarded to us! Watch this space for more details on how to vote for us.
