Tesco customers are being invited to help community groups and good causes in Caerphilly bag a share of a £11.5million carrier bag charge fund.

The supermarket has teamed up with charity Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative, which sees grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge – being awarded to community groups in Caerphilly.
