Carrier bag grants to be awarded by Tesco

News | | Published: 16:00, Tuesday February 23rd, 2016.

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.

This month shoppers are being invited to head along to their local store and vote for who should get which grant award.

The groups to benefit from the Tesco grant in Caerphilly are: St Gwladys’ Church, Cwmcarn High School and Trinant Flying Start.

Voting is open in-store from February 27 until March 6. Customers will be able to vote using a token given to them at the check-out in-store.

Caroline Silke, Head of Community at Tesco said: “We’re really looking forward to seeing how our customers will vote in Caerphilly and these three great local projects coming to life.”
