Give Hedon Scouts a Boost with Tesco Stronger Starts

Help Hedon Scouts with Tesco Stronger Starts (Hull)

If you’re heading into Tesco before the end of December, you can give Hedon Scout Group a proper boost — in less time than it takes to choose a meal deal.

Hedon Scouts are taking part in Tesco Stronger Starts, and the way it works is beautifully simple: when you’re in a participating store, you’ll be offered a blue token at the checkout. All you need to do is pop it into the Hedon Scout Group slot on your way out. That’s it. No forms, no sign-ups, no faff. 🙌

And yes — it really does make a difference.

What is Tesco Stronger Starts?

Tesco Stronger Starts (previously known as Tesco Bags of Help in many places) is one of those community schemes that quietly does a lot of good. Local groups and charities can receive funding support — and the public helps decide who gets it by placing their blue tokens in-store.

So if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to help, but I don’t have time,” this is your moment. You’re already going to Tesco… so you might as well do a tiny good deed while you’re there. 😉

Why Hedon Scouts would love your support

Scouting is built on giving young people chances they might not get anywhere else — adventure, confidence, teamwork, leadership, and skills for life (with a healthy amount of mud and laughter thrown in).

Funding opportunities like this help Scout Groups:

improve equipment and resources
keep activities affordable for families
run bigger and better nights away and trips
support young people to try new things safely
continue delivering brilliant programmes week in, week out

Every token is a vote for more opportunities for young people in our area — and we’re very grateful for every single one.
