Tesco Funds For Food And Healthy Activities In Schools

4th April 2023

Tesco Community Grants funds thousands of local community projects across the UK. The fund is now focussed on supporting schools and organisations to apply for extra financial help they might need to provide healthy food and activities that boost young people's mental and physical wellbeing.

The scheme is open to all registered charities and not-for-profit organisations, with priority given to projects that provide food and support to young people. It provides grants of up to £1500 to local projects from across the whole of Scotland.

Tesco Community Grants is administered by Groundwork who are working with our team at greenspace scotland to support applicants and successful projects in Scotland. If you need help applying then don't hesitate to contact your local Community Enabler, details below.

How does Tesco Community Grants work?
Tesco Community Grants is open to charities and community organisations to apply for a grant of up to £1,500 via an on-line application form. Every three months, three local good causes are selected to be in the blue token customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK.
