Tesco’s new grant funding programme invites schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations supporting children to apply for up to £1,500 to improve access to fruit and veg.
Every four months, three local projects are selected to be in the customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK. Every project shortlisted for the vote receives funding but a vote using a blue token will make the difference to just how much funding each project receives – up to £500, £1,000 or £1,500.
From providing nutritious food in fun ways like smoothie classes through to learning how fruit and veg grows, Tesco welcome applications that use healthy food to support nutritious diets of children and young people across the UK.
This could include providing fruit or healthy snacks in school, introducing or supporting breakfast or holiday clubs, cooking or gardening initiatives to grow your very own fruit and veg or providing much-needed half time power for a sports club. All applications that are received are assessed, and Tesco colleagues help to select the projects that will be voted for in regions across the UK.
Applications can be submitted at any time.
There is an online application form
