Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative in hundreds of regions across Scotland, England and Wales. The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.

“Skaterham is proud to be part of Tesco's "Bags of Help" scheme and has made the region’s top three!    Please vote for us instore at Tesco Caterham (opposite us) and help us make a difference.  The money we receive from this funding is going towards making our outdoor ramps and play areas safer, more accessible and better for everyone.

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s 390 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags. The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.
