Lambeth groups invited to apply for Tesco Bags of Help funding

Community groups and charities across Lambeth are being invited to apply for funding through the Tesco Bags of Help scheme.

Applications are officially open for 2020, with more than £6million to be shared across England throughout 2020.

Anyone can nominate groups and charities benefiting communities England. Three groups from Lambeth will be awarded grant amounts of £2,000, £1,000 or £500 every three months.

The scheme sees money raised from the sale of reusable Bags for Life in Tesco stores across the country used to fund local projects.

And customers decide where the money goes, casting their votes for shortlisted charities using blue tokens handed out in stores.

Keith Jackson, Bags of Help Manager at Tesco, said: “From projects to improve community spaces to groups looking for support with community events, purchasing new equipment and funding coaches, we encourage you to nominate and apply, and get involved in this fantastic scheme.

The scheme runs in partnership with community charity Groundwork.
