Tesco Bags of Help Centenary Fund

Published date:

This year marks 100 Years of Great Value at Tesco. To celebrate our Centenary year, we’re pleased to announce two different projects that will benefit local community groups across the UK.

This year, we’re holding two special voting rounds of our Bags of Help community project funding scheme across England, Scotland and Wales, called Bags of Help Centenary Grants.

Bags of Help Centenary Grants will provide larger grant amounts of £25,000, £15,000 and £10,000 across regional voting areas. They will be shortlisted by colleague panels then voted on by customers in two rounds across July/August and November/December 2019, our Centenary year.

In July/August the vote will support Tesco’s work on Health and will prioritise projects which deliver health and wellbeing benefits to those living in your area, with a special priority for projects focusing on cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Projects funded through Bags of Help Centenary Grants will be able to demonstrate a community benefit across the whole voting region, or a significant part of it. The region for Greater Manchester, includes all the Greater Manchester Local Authorities.

The November/December voting round will be open to all community groups supporting projects across our regions, enabling groups to apply for bigger funding.
