Bags of Help is Tesco’s exciting local community grant scheme where the money raised from the 5p bag charge is being used to fund thousands of local projects in communities right across the UK.

Projects that bring benefit to their community will get the green light – these range from improving community buildings and outdoor spaces to buying new equipment, training coaches or volunteers and hosting community events.

Administration of the local funding is being managed by the community charity with a green heart, Groundwork, which specialises in transforming communities and the local environment for the better.

 

 

Can you help us?!

The Trust has applied for funding for a new project in Sutton. The project aims to deliver a community garden in Sutton at the Culvers Lodge site. The funding will be used to cover volunteer expenses and purchase new equipment and materials to build and maintain the new community space, improving access for local residents.

 

Following the vote, the project that receives the most votes in its area will receive a grant of up to £4,000, second place receiving up to £2,000 and third place up to £1,000.
