Tesco applications close on Friday for anyone who provides Food or cooking for families in need
There are currently no applications in for Food Insecurity for the Tesco Formby Store (L37 8DP). With the situation we all find ourselves in, it would seem that lots of people are struggling with food insecurity and it would be a real shame if the next quarters grant from Tesco was passed over.
Just to confirm that in each round of funding, Tesco support at least one organisation who work with children & young people and another, who provide food or cooking facilities for families in need of help.
In light of this, it would be of great benefit to any organisation in the Formby store (wider) area if they could apply for a grant. As you may already know, the three shortlisted organisations are voted on by the customers and the three grants equate to £1500 for first place, £1000 for second and £500 for third.
The closing date is this Friday and a link to the Tesco Community Grant application can be found here:
Tesco Community Grants support thousands of local community projects and good causes across the UK.
The scheme is open to all registered charities and not-for-profit organisations, with priority given to projects that provide food and support to young people.
Examples of eligible applications with a focus on food security, children and young people could be:
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 Christmas lunch or Meals on Wheels service,
A healthy eating project that supports families to cook healthy meals on a budget,
A local friends of a park group wanting to develop a new toddler area.
