The Tesco Charity Trust Community Awards Scheme provides one-off donations of between £500 and £2,500 to organisations which have a turnover of under £5 million. The funding goes towards providing practical benefits, such as equipment and resources for projects that directly benefit health, environmental sustainability or opportunities for young people in the local communities around Tesco stores in the UK.
Health
Health is defined as a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing. Tesco’s ambition is to help improve the health of customers, colleagues and communities. Tesco will promote this by working with charities, not for profit organisations and community groups who promote health and wellbeing initiatives and programmes.
Opportunities for Young People
Youth unemployment remains a critical challenge. That's why Tesco are determined to be part of the solution and to create opportunities for young people around the UK. Tesco want to help more young people, in business and communities, to fulfil their potential by equipping them with the skills they need to start successful careers. Tesco are committed to supporting the next generation of young people (under-25s). Tesco will work with charities, not for profits organisations and community groups who work to support young people whoever they are, whatever career they want to pursue, to help them gain the skills they need to succeed.
Environmental Sustainability
Environmental Sustainability is about reducing environmental footprint whilst making a positive impact in the communities in which we live, work or socialise.
