Bags of Help
24 February 2016
Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative in hundreds of regions across 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.
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. Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council has been successful in receiving funding through Tesco Bags of Help for Prior Play Park. It's now the turn of the public to vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.
