Deadline: 06-Feb-22
Applications are now open for the Tesco Community Grants Program.
Tesco is banishing Blue Monday, traditionally known as the most depressing day of the year, by launching a campaign to give 60 charities and community projects a boost.
Over the next three weeks, they are calling for applications from groups across the UK that could benefit from a £5000 grant to help them to make a difference in their communities.
Priorities
Priority will be given to projects that provide food and support to young people, with examples including:
- A local school needing support to buy food for a children’s breakfast club,
- A voluntary organisation working with families to run a food bank,
- A charity supporting young people with specialist advice to manage mental health,
- A brownie or scout group needing new camping equipment,
- Kitchen equipment for a youth project to set up a holiday club,
- Supporting a community centre wanting to put on a celebration lunch or Meals on Wheels service,
- A healthy eating project that supports families to cook healthy meals on a budget.
Funding Information
Amount: £5000
Eligibility Criteria
Applications will be accepted from a wide range of organisations including: voluntary/community organisations, registered charities, social enterprises, Community Interest Companies (please note, CIC’s must have been running for a minimum of two years and they can consider CICs limited by guarantee but not those limited by shares), community councils, mutuals, and housing organisations. Other not-for-profit organisations might also be eligible.
