Tesco's 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.
Key Criteria
Every four months, three local projects are selected to be in the customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK. Customers can use their blue token to vote and choose how the funding is distributed. Every project shortlisted for the vote receives funding but the blue token vote makes a difference to just how much funding each project receives – up to £500, £1,000 or £1,500.
They welcome applications focused on providing food for pupils, children, and young people - such as fruit for breakfast clubs, meals at sports or holiday clubs, or healthy snacks. They also consider projects supporting:
- mental health
- special educational needs
- emotional support
- equipment for indoor and outdoor activities that boost wellbeing
Projects that incorporate a food component, like lunch or healthy snacks, are especially encouraged.
